ReThreading Madness
ReThreading Madness with host, Bernadine Fox, challenge the status quo regarding mental health. We moved away from the colonial-based ideas about mental health dictated by the DSM. One in 2 of us will experience a mental health challenge in their lifetime. By giving the mental health consumer voice and agency around what is true for them and their lived experience, we bring these issues home - allowing all of us the language needed to self-define. Basically, we are actively rethreading the truths around our mad, mad worlds one conversation at a time.
