Today the fellas are joined by Canada's Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister of Health, Carolyn Bennett. We've seen so much progress on mental health education and shame reduction since the inception of Sickboy...yet it still seems like accessing care in the space of mental health is still very much behind other health sectors. The boys take the time to dig into Minister Bennett's new mandate and how the government plans to seek change in Canadian mental health and addictions.

A Plan for Canada's Mental Health w/ The Honourable Carolyn Bennett

Sickboy is the only place where terminal diagnoses can peacefully coexist with jokes we probably shouldn't make. Hosted by three best friends, Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor, this show smashes taboos around illness, death, and everything in between. Inspired by Jeremie’s life with Cystic Fibrosis, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. We talk to people living with everything from chronic disease to catastrophic injury, mental health struggles to medical miracles - and we do it with radical empathy, zero BS, and the kind of unfiltered jokes that get us kicked out of support groups. If you’ve ever felt weird, broken, or like no one gets it, welcome. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Pull up a seat; it’s gonna get real.
