À propos de ce contenu audio
What does mental health really mean? Ashley sits down with Starr Cunningham, President & CEO of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, to talk about why mental health lives in the grey, how to identify your early warning signs (hello, green/yellow/red), and why language and community—especially kindness—change the game. Starr shares her lived experience, the Foundation's community-driven grant model, and two easy ways to get involved: the Holiday Black-Tie Gala (Nov 22) and the Messages of Kindness campaign.
