Dr Gia provides the monthly dose of hope, continuing with the theme of mother wounds. While the impact of parental trauma is deep, we are reminded that these do not have to define our future nor shape our identity.

Changing the pace a little bit, this episode is a rebroadcast of an interview recorded on another platform. Dr Gia is being interviewed by Patrice Francis, Mental health professional and a part of the leadership team at Legacy Church Global.  This episode is one of 3 conversations on the Mother Wound to be featured here on Dr Gia Says for the month of July. 

In this episode,  Dr Gia reflects on relationships, which are essential to our quality of life, but also usually the place of our most significant woundings. 

Dr Gia chats with Alexander "Stacs" Hepburn, Bahamian recording artist and mental health advocate on his life and testimony.  Alex candidly shares about his early life experiences of abuse and how it was both Jesus and therapy that was pivotal in his healing journey.

We think these are just like medicine for the overwhelmed, battered and burnt out heart...a quick dose of hope to boost your spirits and your outlook.

In this episode, Dr Gia sits with mentee and Community Psychologist candidate, Dwaneisha McGregor to talk about the challenges of accessing mental health services in The Bahamas.  Dwaneisha recently completed her Masters dissertation looking at the experience of caregivers with the mental health system and was able to share insights that she learnt.  It was a different episode as her perspective represents those accessing services, even as far as the caregiver who supports the person receiving services.

As we kick off May and Mental Health awareness month, Dr Gia sits with Clinical Psychologist, Dr Stephanie Hutcheson about her work as a mental health professional in private practice, the community and in the church, the status of mental health in The Bahamas and Mental Health Awareness month's activities.
