Here are some presents from my mind to yours. Over the past several years, I've been on a journey to learn more about myself and my mental health. Through research, personal experience and conversation with others, I've been able to come a long way. This platform is a space where I can share some of the knowledge I've picked up along the way and connect with those who are also on their own journeys of self-discovery.

    Accept nothing short of an enthusiastic 'yes!'

    Consent is often thought of as a black and white issue, but there is so much grey area. It's important to learn about consent is more than just a 'yes'. How did you get that 'yes'? How many times did you have to ask? Educate yourself and those around you on this important topic.

    Here's to the Young Carers

    Young Carers are youth under the age of 25 who provide significant aid in their homes. It can be a very thankless job and takes a toll on young people as they try and navigate through life while holding many adult responsibilities.

    The best advocates can miss things too

    I've got my mental health first aid, a background in psychology, applied suicide intervention safety training and more, but I have still sometimes missed when someone is struggling. It was hard to deal with, but it helped me become more motivated to have open conversations and not shy away from talking about mental health and taught me to be more kind to myself. I hope you can do the same.

    What your Doctor didn't tell you about your anti-depressants

    I started medication for my mental health for the first time in 2014, but there was a lot my doctor didn't tell me about how the experience would go. It caused me a lot of discomfort, and through some trial and error, I finally figured it out. Here are a few things I wish I knew before I started taking medication.

    'Tradition is just Peer Pressure from Dead People'

    We grow up being told what to do and how to behave, but the time has come to stop, think critically, unlearn, reframe and relearn. It's time to break from traditions that do not serve us anymore.

    Find Your Healing

    The process of healing is just as individualistic as we are. It can be hard to figure out what we need when we are struggling. Depending on where we are on the mental health continuum (shorturl.at/nKLPS) we need different things. In this episode, I run through Dr.Peter Cornish's Stepped Care 2.0 model, which is one method of grasping the different options available to us and how we can use them (https://steppedcaretwopoint0.ca/what-is-stepped-care-2-0/).
