  1. Yes, We Should Talk About Mental Health, Part II: Stephen Doucet Campbell | Episode 49 Brent van Staalduinen 44:17

As we move through the deepest, often gloomiest part of the winter, Dave and Brent sit down with psychotherapist and counsellor Stephen Doucet Campbell to talk about why this season can affect us more profoundly than others, and what we can think about, do, and say to each other to process the winter moods and feelings that challenge us.   

Note: this episode contains discussions of mental Health challenges, which can be activating for some people: if you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, please know that there are real life and online resources available to you, so do reach out and talk to someone: you’re not alone.
