Previous Episode
The Future of Mental Health in Canada - Dr. Sean Hill, The Honourable Dr. Carolyn Bennett, Karn Nichols
1 RecommendationsWelcome back to Life's a Wreck (it's been a minute). I've been working on this podcast for the past five months and finally get to share it with all of you. It's been an experimental podcast for me as I look forward to what the future may hold for Life's a Wreck and let me promise you it has been a ton of fun piecing together. The entirety of this episode is inspired by the future. The future of me, of this pod and of the mental health care system in Canada. I was inspired to create this episode while listening to an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History. The episode was on experiments and specifically what magical experiments experts in various fields would do to vastly advance their understanding of their work. I wondered "huh what would this look like for mental health" and the concept for this pod and its new sound was born.
In this episode, you'll hear from:
The Scientific Director of the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (CAMH) Dr. Sean Hill, Canada's first EVER Federal Minister of Mental Health and Addiction The Honourable Dr. Carolyn Bennett, and the Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Nova Scotia chapter Karn Nichols. Prominent voices in the mental health space, all coming together to discuss what the future of mental health looks like in Canada. Kick back and relax for a much-anticipated episode of Life's a Wreck.

Couple of Sick Boys Chat About Therapy Ft. Advocate and Podcaster Brian Stever
1 Recommendations75 Episodes! A really amazing milestone. Thank you so much for your love and support over the past four years, you beautiful wrecks. It hasn't been pretty, but it's been ours. I can't think of any better way to celebrate than with a conversation with one of my favourite podcasters, Brian Stever. Brian is a mental health advocate and a bonafide storyteller. As co-host of the Sickboy Podcast, he helps break down the stigma surrounding illness by fostering honest conversations like the one we had today. After learning about our shared appreciation for therapy while recording an episode of Sickboy (linked below), Brian and I decided to hop on the mics and chat about the place therapy hold in our lives. The conversation only blossomed from there. An open and authentic conversation between two men, what more could you want.
