About this listen

 Marlon Morgan is the host of "This Helps Podcast." As a licensed therapist and the Founder and CEO of the national nonprofit Wellness Together, Marlon is dedicated to helping thousands of people improve their mental health every day. Join Marlon and longtime friend and fellow therapist Jeremiah Aja each week as we ask the question: What helps the people who help us? What helps the helpers? Listen in on authentic and vulnerable conversations with the world's leading Helpers as they share with all of us how we can feel better right now. Hear from New York Times Best-Selling authors, actors, comedians, and global leaders in education, mental health, and technology. Hang out with Marlon as he connects with listeners who share their own personal stories about what and who helps them. You might even hear some obscure pop culture references and below-average celebrity impressions. Beloved TV personality Fred Rogers said that when he was growing up and saw things in the news that scared him, his mother would say: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping… because if you look for the helpers, you will know that there's hope." "This Helps" is hopeful, helpful, and connects us all to a purpose bigger than ourselves. New episodes of This Helps are released weekly on Wednesdays.
