Radio that is your new normal

3/3/2017 10:44:42 am

Enjoyed hearing these familiar and not-so-familar voices but the sound quality was uneven towards the end of the late January 2017 broadcast.

Up until that point, it was superb for an amateur radio podcast.It challenged even me to think differently about a lot of issues and people. I liked the slogan "radio that is your new normal".

Gaétan had an expressive voice. I recognised Josh and I think Kit (the female Kit), Karen, Criss and a few others.

I also saw the Flash Mob video but although it may have helped morale internally, few people near Dundas Square on the street seemed willing to stop while a camera was rolling.

At least you are making more of an effort to engage the outside community. You can talk about ending stigma until you are blue in the face, but unless more people other than psych students and social work students come through the doors, it will continue to be a mysterious place, although a bit less since the architectural redesign a few years ago to make its street presence more wheelchair accessible and less cold and austere looking from the outside and more warm and inviting.

Quotes like "mental illness saved my life!" and "mental illness has helped me be more human!", could be explored more as ways to reframe the discussion.

Far too often under a clinical model, we maybe see what is atypical (not typical) or meeting certain checklists of symptoms without emphasis on recalibrating lives taking time or what is actually working for that individual and the oeople they relate to or have to deal with. People come into and go out of people's lives but some people stay there in spirit.

We not only have to look at our own expectations but those if our inner or extended family, community and society and culture. That is an awfully tall order for someone with varying degrees of mental illness to do at once leave alone every day leave alone often on a spartan budget.

To deal with employers and fellow employees in a workplace on top of all that can be really tough for a lot of people but younger people seem to have more vitality and energy and older oeople tend to be more philosophical as the pieces of the puzzle fall more into place or else the pieces indidivually become less relevant to the overall picture.

(Although some important pieces of information about the past nay help explain a lot, but in context of time, place, era, outside pressures and internal state of mind.
The Newfoundlanders like to say "you cannot know the mind of a squid" as people who hide behind a lot of ink or a cloak of ink to get away when nervous, but not everyone sees or faces the same risks and challenges nor has the same resources nor friends who understand when to intervene and when to let things take their natural course, and sometimes we all make mistakes in judgement about what to do or say.

Mental illness can humble but also make us more aware of our own foibles and willing to accept those of others rather than rigid and inflexible expectations which are not callibrated as to the social history nor the economic ability of the individual or group to deliver them.)

Thank you for reminding me with your own voices how warm and welcoming Progress Place is for a lot of people on a journey towards mental health and general wellness. It takes time.And sometines, distance.

Toronto is really making waves in all kinds of stuff. Sure, this radio thing is great, but just look at their basketball accolades. For the past decade, they have always been a contender, but they were never really able to get past the Eastern conference, at least until last year. Kawhi Leonard was able to go and lift Toronto past the Golden State Warriors. This is just a fun time to be a Toronto Raptors fan, that is for sure.

There are some factors that should be taken into account to protect children from diseases. First, vaccines strengthen the immune system in children and provide protection against diseases. Thanks to vaccines, children can be protected from important infections. In addition, a healthy lifestyle also strengthens the immune system. This lifestyle includes regular and balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, exercise and compliance with hygiene rules. These factors increase children's body resistance and allow them to become more resistant to diseases.
