Speak Up is a 5-day school-based mental health literacy and stigma reduction program designed for grade 7, 9, and 11 students. Mental health literacy intervention is an evidence-based approach to increasing mental health knowledge, breaking down stigma towards people living with mental health problems and illnesses, and encouraging help seeking behaviours. In this episode, Stephen speaks with Youth Mental Health Promotion Coordinator - Speak Up Program Lead, James Welsman, about his own journey of recovery, the Indigenous aspects of the program, and how Speak Up has helped to equip mental health champions. Stephen also speaks with Winnipeg School Division Healthy Minds Specialist, Fiona England, about her perspective about the program's success in helping students take ownership of their own mental health trajectory.
