In this very special episode, Richelle talks about the Bell Let's Talk initiative to help Canadians talk about mental health issues
She provides practical information for starting conversations about mental health, promoting recovery from mental illness, and encouraging healthy relationships with others. Due to personal experience, she understands the stigma attached to mental illness and explains how we can use respect and dignity to break down the barriers that prevent open conversations about mental health.
