Blending Music And Recovery With Jam Alker

Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. November 24, 2020 Duration: 35:44

Drug addiction and mental health issues are things that society usually sees as hopeless cases, unfortunately. Musician and public speaker Jam Alker aims to break this stigma through the unique combination of music and recovery. Being a recovery activist himself, Jam uses songwriting to help people who are currently recovering from probably the lowest point in their lives. He sits down with host Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. to discuss how dedicating your life in service of others is the best way to find your own self-worth. Jam also shares some details about his own recovery story from using heroin, his life in the band The JAB, and the upcoming documentary about his life.

Mental health isn't a monologue; it's a conversation we're all having, whether quietly with ourselves or openly with others. On Your Mind is that conversation given a voice, hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Hayes. This podcast moves beyond abstract theory to explore the practical, human side of psychological well-being. Each episode features candid discussions with practitioners who are actively guiding people through their struggles, focusing on tangible strategies for building resilience and achieving a sustainable sense of wellness.

It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves the question in its title-whether you're seeking support for your own journey, supporting a loved one, or simply have a deep curiosity about the inner workings of the human experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, accessible exploration of the mind, where complex ideas are broken down with clarity and compassion.
