Episode Synopsis

In this podcast for National Mental Health Awareness Week, Dr Sandra Walker urges us to approach anyone we suspect to be suffering from a respectful curiosity. She discusses how mental illness is not something to recover from, but can be a way of discovering who you will next be, and the community's role is to give care and support, to bear witness, rather than try to fix things.
