Mind Mission: Military Families & Mental Health with Laryssa Lamrock

When Laryssa Lamrock created her digital story "Enveloped," she never anticipated how profoundly a four-minute video would transform her advocacy work with military families. As the National Strategic Advisor for Families at the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families, Laryssa brings her lived experience as a military spouse, daughter, and mother to her work supporting those affected by service-related mental health challenges.The conversation explores the many ways digital stories become catalysts for healing and connection – from introducing presentations to facilitating psycho-educational workshops for family members affected by PTSD. We also discover how Laryssa's experience informed her work co-hosting the Mind Beyond the Mission podcast, where she brings the family perspective to conversations about military mental health.Episode Key Messages0:00 Introduction to Laryssa Lamrock2:33 Creating a Digital Story at Atlas5:12 Enveloped: Laryssa's Personal Digital Story9:33 Sharing Digital Stories with Others18:48 Supporting Young Adults' Storytelling Journey25:37 Mind Beyond the Mission Podcast28:20 Legacy Stories and Final ThoughtsOther Links MentionedWatch more digital stories from Atlas InstituteCheck out the Mindkit websiteWatch the Caregivers in the Wild episode mentionedListen to the Co-Created episode with Joy Pavelich mentionedRead this episode's blog postWatch the Looking Back video about Ep 28 with Wellspring AlbertaLearn more about Laryssa Lamrock here.
