- Health & Fitness
OFM is a raw look at mental illness from people who suffer to understand how it impacts the lives of people who are just like you. The show has evolved over time and with two queer co-hosts, one of whom is transgender, the show has started to look more often at how the queer community is impacted by the topic.
As we work to change society's understanding of these illnesses, we hope to show that we are defined by more than the illnesses we have to live with. Then, together, we can #EndTheStigma and help others find the comfort, and the help, they need.
