Imagine living with the haunting memory of a loved one who disappeared 25 years ago, lost to the depths of schizophrenia.

The episode doesn't stop at just recounting Bruce's story. It dives into a compelling panel discussion moderated by Janice, featuring voices like Tara McKendrick from the Canadian Mental Health Association, Aaron Clayton from Pastone Mental Health, and Steve Borisenko, a father who lost his son Jacob to an overdose.

It's for anyone touched by these issues or seeking to understand them better. Whether you're dealing with your own struggles or supporting someone else, this episode offers a blend of empathy, insight, and hope.
