In search of a greater understanding of mental illness

In this 6th season, we go beyond the stereotypes, the headlines, and the stigma surrounding serious mental illness to explore a host of topics that include what recovery really means, the realities of caregiving, pressures within the mental health system, the role media plays in the portrayal of serious mental illness, and how artificial intellence is impacting wellness.

This season brings a new magazine-style format, more voices from across the mental health community, and for the first time: video episodes!

Featuring conversations with guests such as MindAid founder Matthew Dickson, Dr. Xavier Amador and Frank Kosa of the Brain Stories podcast, CBC and UBC's Kathryn Gretsigner, and art therapist Nicole Parekh, to name a few.
