Mental health and mental illness are in the news a lot these days. And that is hoping to eroding some of the stigma and prejudice people hold towards others who may appear to be different. This is Mental Health week, a social change campaign to educate the public and shift beliefs and perceptions about mental health. And this year’s theme is My Story. The Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division is bringing together four mental health champions who are using their voices in unique and innovative ways to create positive social change for a panel discussion called Champions for Change. Award-winning filmmaker Robyn Badger is one of the featured panelists and she talks about her short-film #kreyzee and what she hopes to teach others about acceptance and resilience.
