Mychal Threets Shares Mental Health Struggle | Raleigh News

Mychal Threets, the new host of Reading Rainbow, bravely shared he’s not okay and is seeking help, planning to go to the hospital — but he’s also grateful for the love and support surrounding him. Taking over from LeVar Burton in October, Threets credits Reading Rainbow for inspiring his career as a librarian. His viral rise on TikTok and Instagram during the pandemic masked deep struggles, including burnout and a near-fatal plan in March last year. Now, with his current role at PBS Kids, he’s using his platform to remind everyone: help is available — call or text 988, or visit 988lifeline.org.
