Because this is an epidemic, we need to treat it as that and we need to be as aggressive in how we respond and we promote strategies or getting connected as we would with smoking or with other kind of ailments.
Imagine a room filled with voices from all walks of life, each sharing their unique experiences with mental health and addiction. That's what you'll find in this episode of the 'Say Know Podcast', hosted by the ever-curious Matt Ingrouille. On January 30, 2019, Matt led a panel discussion at the University of Saskatchewan as part of Bell Let's Talk day.
This wasn't just any panel; it was a melting pot of perspectives and stories that shed light on the multifaceted nature of mental health. First up, Becca Beattie, a community advocate with enough street smarts to rival any academic, shares her journey and her mission to bring Saskatoon's first safe consumption site to life. Her raw honesty and dedication are nothing short of inspiring.
Then there's Murray Drew, a professor who doesn't just teach Animal and Poultry Science but also lives with bipolar disorder and ADHD. His story is a testament to the fact that mental health challenges don't have to stand in the way of happiness and success. Jerin Islam, a psychology student and member of the Bangladesh Undergrad Student Federation, adds another layer by discussing her efforts to reduce mental health stigma among international students.
Her passion for advocacy shines through as she talks about creating a more understanding community. Kyle Schwartz, a clinical social worker, dives into suicide prevention and the damaging effects of toxic masculinity, offering practical advice and heartfelt stories. Finally, Allan Kehler, a motivational speaker and mental health educator, ties it all together with his lived experiences and teachings on wellness.
The panel doesn't just talk about issues; they offer real solutions and emphasize the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health and addiction. Whether you're dealing with mental health issues yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to learn more, this episode is packed with insights and strategies that can make a real difference. Tune in to hear these powerful stories and discover how you can be part of the change.
