Rebroadcast: Episode 150: “Let’s Talk Stigma” w/Andrea Paquette

In this week’s episode, we are rebroadcasting episode 150 “Let’s Talk Stigma” with Andrea Paquette.  

The Stigma-Free Society is a registered Canadian Charity since 2010 and has designed programs providing education about stigmas with an emphasis on mental health and peer support for those facing mental health challenges with a special focus on youth.  Join Tracy this week as she chats with Andrea Paquette in this interview titled “Let’s Talk Stigma.”

Andrea is the President & Co-Founder of The Stigma-Free Society, and she joins Tracy in this episode about all things mental health and stigma.

In this episode, they chat about:
  • The origin of The Stigma-Free Society. Did you know that this charity has a true grassroots history? The project was first ignited by Andrea, who created a Bipolar Babe t-shirt and website to share her personal experience with bipolar disorder, so others did not have to suffer in silence like she once did. Listen in as Andrea shares this neat origin story.
  • Andrea shares her mental health story and chats about being judged and ridiculed, which keeps so many suffering in silence.
  • She shares more about the Stigma-Free Society and their programs, services, tools that they provide. She shares a great resource geared towards the rural audience. Don’t miss out on this.
  • Andrea ends the episode by sharing some words of wisdom for anyone that is suffering from mental health concerns.

If you or someone you love is suffering, please tune into this episode. Most importantly, please don’t suffer in silence. Let’s end the stigma around mental health.
