Breaking the Silence is a podcast that dives into the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use—how it starts, how it spreads, and how we begin to break it. Through real conversations with youth, families, community leaders, and healthcare professionals, we explore how stigma affects help-seeking, identity, and healing across generations and cultures. Each episode unpacks a different layer of the issue—from personal stories to policy, spirituality to school systems—so we can build understanding, challenge assumptions, and create space for support over shame.
