Intro to Helpful Living Magazine

In this episode , we sit down with Jaime Rockymore-Bess, also known as Queen J, to explore her groundbreaking work as the founder of Helpful Living Magazine.  We dive into what inspired Jaime to create this valuable resource, her extensive experience in the mental health field and how her mission to normalize mental health care is making a difference.

Jaime is a passionate mental health advocate and educator with over a decade of experience as a discharge coordinator and mental health professional.  Recognizing a gap in accessible, tangible resources for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, she created Helpful Living Magazine—a platform dedicated to educating, inspiring and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

This conversation covers the importance of mental health education, the power of representation and how Helpful Living Magazine serves as a critical tool for social workers, families and communities seeking to better understand mental health services.

Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That’s why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive.
