About The Help Show

The Help Show is a podcast dedicated to connecting individuals to mental health community resources. The podcast was started by Dallas, Texas native, NiEtta Reynolds following tragedy the death of a dear friend. From the life-changing event of her friend’s suicide two years ago, The Help Show was born. NiEtta’s friend suicide came as a shock to her. She didn’t see the warning signs of her friend’s severe depression. Following her friend’s suicide, NiEtta devoted enormous amounts of time towards research mental health and wellness. It is that research that sparked her passion for spreading mental health awareness and the epiphany that others (here in Dallas as well as World-wide) struggle with difficulties of depression.
