The Birth of Mental Health.

When Ken launched The Jar podcast in April 2020, he embarked on a journey across the country, interviewing individuals about their mental health experiences. What began as a simple exploration soon evolved into something more profound. After eight months and nearly 200 heartfelt stories, Ken established The Jar Foundation. His vision? To offer support to those with lived experiences, individuals who, having triumphed over their own mental health challenges, now dedicate themselves to helping others navigate similar struggles. Recognizing that many such efforts go unnoticed and unfunded, The Jar Foundation aims to provide a helping hand to those operating on the grassroots level, within local communities and small initiatives. By delving deeper into the mental health ecosystem, exploring solutions, therapies, and patient narratives, Ken sought to create a platform for these stories to be heard—and amplified. Thus, Mental Health Today podcast was born, with the mission of becoming a comprehensive resource, shedding light on diverse mental health journeys from both within and outside. Through this platform, Ken endeavors to continue amplifying voices, sharing stories, and fostering a sense of community, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles and that help is within reach.

Andy Prisco

I had the good fortune of being interviewed by Ken for an episode. I found him to be entirely genuine, an excellent listener, and a skilled interviewer, guiding a meaningful discussion that was non-partisan and in the pursuit of truth…this of course, rare during a particularly partisan time in the mental health domain. He’s sincere and genuinely interested in raising awareness about the issues of our time.

Ken does a great interview. He is great a honing in on the "why" behind an guests actions. He doesn't stop at the "what." A great show with the more engaging people in psychology and psychiatry.
