Our third and last episode of this year is out! For this episode, we tried something a little different. Instead of recording in the studio, HEAL YAC members split into discussion groups during a meeting at the HEAL Lab to talk about youth mental health.

Together, youth explored topics including:

• stress, pressure, and lived experiences
• stigma and barriers to accessing support
• building stronger, more supportive communities for young people

This episode features reflections, conversations, and insights directly from YAC members, alongside special guest, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Dela Paz.

It was wonderful having Dr. Dela Paz join us for this episode and YAC members really benefited from her professional insights and personal reflections working with youth.
