When Sherry Garner unraveled, she didn't know where to turn for help. No one talked about mental illness when she was growing up on a dairy farm in rural Ontario.
As she rebuilt her life and story, she drew on her love of music and theatre to heal, and found the resources she needed for the journey. In the process, Garner became the visionary behind Coffee Talk Theatre Productions and the one-woman show I Am Enough.
Using storytelling and song, Garner entertains while opening rural audiences to tough conversations. I Am Enough opens the floor to questions and connects the audience to support and resources.
In this episode, Merle Massie speaks with Sherry Garner and travels to Embro, Ontario, where the community has embraced the show and built a whole weekend dedicated to mental health, connection, and hope.
