But I said, 130 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: you're an author. You got a book that teaches children 131 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: about the power of therapy. Tell us a little bit 132 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: about the book. 133 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, mister Harvey, I had the God give vision 134 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: to plant a seed very early on, and I learned 135 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: this in many ways from from the programs with the 136 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: Mentor Foundation that when you teach a child a way 137 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: to go, it doesn't it doesn't leave them. Like I know, 138 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: when I was at the camp, you all told me, 139 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: like when you're on the date, make sure you walk 140 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: on the outside and open doors. And I find myself 141 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: still doing those things. And so using that logic, I 142 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: was thinking that when you teach kids very early on 143 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: the importance of taking care of their mental health, how 144 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: to regulate their emotions, how to deal with relationships through 145 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: mental health practitioners and therapists, that when they get older, 146 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: they will grow into adults who know how to take 147 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: care of their mental health, how to remain saye, and 148 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: how to help other people take care of their mental health. 149 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: And so I wrote a book called Carry the Caring Koala, 150 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 3: A Child's Guide to Therapy. It's available on Amazon, and 151 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: the book has been really helpful, has a workbook page, 152 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: and it just really teaches kids how to manage their 153 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 3: emotions and relationships. 154 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: Now you say, what's the name of the book? Carry 155 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: the carry Okay, carry the Carrying Koala. That's a tongue twist. 156 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: The young find that book. 157 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: I just got a ko la. 158 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: The two things that we teach at the mentory in camp. 159 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: The two main focuses is dream building and manhood. I 160 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: don't discuss your education with you. I don't discuss your 161 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: you know your educational background, where you hope to go. 162 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: If you go to school, fine, But I want to 163 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: know what your dreams are. And we start with dream boards, 164 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: and I teach young men how to dream. I get 165 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: their mind out of their neighborhoods and the hoods and 166 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: put them somewhere else. And then I teach them what 167 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: real men do. Real men go to church, real men 168 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: go to work. Real men honor God, Real men obey 169 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: the law. Real men take care of their children. Real 170 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: men honor women. Real men go to work every day. 171 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: That's what manhood is. It ain't in a video, it 172 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: ain't in a in a chain, it ain't on a 173 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: set of rems. We teach those two things, and those 174 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: two things work.
