    Ep. 52 - Equity Works (Part 1)

    In this special episode of RTNT, we compiled interviews and clips from previous episodes., discussing mental health in the workplace. This episode is inspired by World Mental Health Day, celebrated annually on October 10. World Mental Health Day aims to raise awareness of mental health and to mobilize efforts to eliminate stigma and discrimination. The correlation between work and mental health is vital towards this discussion, as we take action towards impacting individuals in their daily life and recovery journey.  The segments are featured from Episode 11 on October 10, 2018 and Episode 21 from August 14, 2019. Please note that Episode 52 is the 1st part of a 2-part series, covering mental health in the workplace.

    Ep. 51 - Young Adult Podcast

    In episode #51 of RTNT, we are talking to the young adults at Progress Place. We asked them about their experiences as a young adult in the clubhouse, and the significance of the program to their daily lives and recovery journey. Furthermore, we interviewed a young adult representative to discuss her role in the program and the outreach process. We also discussed the impact the clubhouse has regarding housing, employment, and school for young adults. We share our advice to future clubhouses looking to start and build a young adult program. Especially during these crucial times of development, the big focus on youth mental health across the world means our discussion can eventually make a significant impact in our individual lives.
