My vision is to start growing this community so that it becomes more diverse, more robust, to the point that it takes on a life of its own.
What happens when a community comes together to tackle mental health and addiction? In this episode of HUM Zinger, hosts Sue Newton and Mike Davies sit down with Justin B., the current chair of the Foundation for Addiction and Mental Health (FAMH). Justin's journey with FAMH, from group moderator to vice chair, gives him a unique perspective on building a supportive network for those grappling with mental health and addiction challenges.
He shares his vision for expanding FAMH's reach and fostering a more inclusive community in Calgary and beyond. The discussion dives into the hurdles of accessing mental health care, the often-overlooked issue of social media addiction, and how FAMH has adapted its support strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Justin also opens up about his personal experiences with support groups like RARE and the profound impact they’ve had on his relationships and recovery.
Sue and Mike bring their trademark blend of empathy and light-heartedness to the conversation, making complex topics feel accessible and relatable. And as always, they wrap up with a Hum Zinger question, adding a touch of humor to the serious subject matter. If you're interested in community-driven approaches to mental health and addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
