The Umbrella of No Judgment is a podcast that was created in 2019 by our group in order to give the youth of our community the ability to have a voice and to improve their own mental health. The goal was to give a platform that would lessen the harsh stigma our society has toward mental health. It is researched and recorded by our students and is the cornerstone of our mission.
The title of the podcast comes from an idea our coach had with her best friend one night during a concert. They entered into a deep conversation and coined the term "The Umbrella of No Judgment" as their way of committing to each other that there would always be support no matter what. To this day the umbrella is still the most pivotal moment of their long 25+ year friendship.
Our hope is that you find comfort listening and participating in our podcast and knowing that no matter what you are going through you are not alone and you don't have to go through it alone.
It's ok to feel that way but it's not ok to keep feeling that way.
