LET’S GET REAL: Docu-Series
Your life. Your voice. Your story.
LET’S GET REAL: Docu-Series is all about sharing stories of struggle, perseverance and recovery.
Through topics ranging from mental health and addiction to everything else in between, learn about the troubles and triumphs directly from the voices of those who live it.
According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, “sharing a personal story of mental illness, trauma, or [substance use disorder] can reinforce feelings of strength, resilience, and perseverance. It’s also one of the most powerful tools to combat stigma and shame.”
Through this series, we work to give a platform to those who have lived experience in our community and empower them share their stories.
