The only way that we're going to get ahead of this curve is by providing people with the tools to look after their mental health each and every day.
Imagine the heartbreak of losing a child to suicide. For Brian Hansell, this unimaginable pain became a reality when his son Paul took his own life at just 18. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Brian to explore how he turned his grief into a powerful movement for change. Through the Paul Hansell Foundation, Brian is raising awareness about youth mental health in Canada with an innovative project called #ConvoPlate.
#ConvoPlate is more than just a campaign; it's a global conversation starter. Individuals are encouraged to paint a plate, share their mental health stories on social media, and pass the plate along to keep the dialogue going. This simple yet profound initiative has traveled far and wide, touching countless lives and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Brian's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
He discusses the critical need for mental health resources, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and highlights the role universities can play in supporting students facing mental health challenges. The episode also delves into the importance of ongoing mental health support and the ways we can all contribute to this vital cause. Listeners will find themselves moved by Brian's journey and inspired to take action.
Whether it's by painting a #ConvoPlate or donating to mental health programs, there are many ways to get involved. This episode is a poignant reminder that even in our darkest times, we can find light and make a difference.
