Podcasts

“Alright, Now What?” Podcast (CWF)
Our resident experts address the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on diverse women and girls. You’ll hear their insights about what’s happening in communities and systemic issues that have come to light this emergency. We also look at how we can chart the way toward a pandemic recovery that centres gender equality, and how you can take action. (Season 1)
CAMH Podcast (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health)
Co-hosted by myself and CAMH Senior Medical Advisor Dr. David Goldbloom, the CAMH podcast will introduce listeners to the work we do here, our world-class experts and clinicians on the front lines, and the clients we serve.
While much of what we discuss will be of particular interest to the CAMH community, we hope this podcast will be of interest to the millions of Canadians who deal with mental illness and addiction every year, and the millions more who care about them.
