Radio Totally Normal Toronto

On this episode of RTNT Live, Nat and Julie explore crisis - what is it? How does it affect people within and outside the mental health community? Where can a person experiencing a difficult time find support? To address these questions, McCaffery interviews Nicki Casseres, the Coordinator of Training and Community Education at the Gerstein Crisis Centre. Also in this episode, Gaetan shares a poem about crisis, and we learn about community resources such as the Progress Place Warm Line and Out of the Cold shelters.

On this episode of RTNT Live, Gaetan and Al introduce Luis de Estores, Derreck Roemer and Rod Radford from the RADAR project(Recovery Advocacy Documentary Action Research), which uses participatory video, teaching participants how to script, film and edit documentary films. We also had Bill Bissett and Naomi Laufer perform poetry and talk about the Secret Handshak,e a peer led organisation for people living with schizophrenia.
