If somehow my struggles are able to assist others, then why would I not put a voice to some of that? That's the power of our story.
Imagine a world where talking about mental health and substance use disorders is as normal as discussing the weather. 'Project Voice' is on a mission to make that vision a reality. Born from the passion of community partners and volunteers in Saskatoon, Canada, Break the Barrier has been working tirelessly for over five years to combat the stigma and discrimination that people with mental illness and substance use disorders face daily.
This episode dives into their Project Voice Campaign, a platform dedicated to sharing personal stories of recovery through video, audio, and written narratives. The idea is simple but powerful: by giving a voice to those who have lived through these challenges, they hope to inspire others and foster a more understanding society. The episode highlights how storytelling can be a transformative tool, not just for the storyteller but for everyone who listens.
You'll hear firsthand accounts that reveal the struggles, hopes, and triumphs of individuals on their journey to recovery. These stories aim to change the image associated with mental illness and substance use disorders, showing that recovery is possible and stigma can be overcome. Whether you're directly affected or just want to broaden your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights into how we can all contribute to a stigma-free world.
Tune in and be part of the conversation that could change lives.
