Jermine Alberty grew up with a unique awareness for people and their suffering. Born from diverse parents, he knew he contained the suffering of African Americans who endured transatlantic slave trade. He contained the suffering of the Cherokee people forced to walk the Trail of Tears. As a pastor, he helped people walk through adversity. As a son and a father, he supported his mother and son as each journeyed through mental health conditions. Through all these experiences, Jermine determined that all people want is love--and he dedicated to his life to making sure they find it.
Today, Jermine is a Mental Health First Aid trainer, a pastor, author, and the founder of the S.A.L.T. Initiative, an initiative that guides others in Serving, Affirming, Loving, and Transforming the lives of others and themselves. He refers to himself a lover of people, and as you listen to him, you can hear his compassion for people--especially those who are considered 'the least of these.
Join us for this special Juneteenth episode for a conversation about mental health, the fight for freedom, acknowledging generational patterns, and helping others heal. If you're an advocate of any kind, this episode is for you.
