January is tough month for a lot of individuals who face mental health issues. The start of the year can bring colder weather and shorter days, but can also trigger feelings of sadness and self doubt.

New Theory Radio and Sauga 960 AM explored this further with a special live recording of NTR in front of a studio audience. The show was entitled 'Theories on Mental Health: Stigma, Rehabilitation and Social Responsibility".

This episode dives deep into personal 'theories' on the stigma associated with mental health, various coping mechanisms; and the roles companies/institutions are taking to promote conversations around this issue.

Joining host Nav Nanwa were the following individuals:

Noyz - Rapper/Educator
Lindsay Whisen - CEO, Ease Up - The Organizing Experts
Kira McNeill - Graphic Designer
Karandeep Gill - Mental Health Advocate
Shayan Yazdanpanah - Be There Coordinator/Speaker, Jack.org

The conversation was followed by a live Q&A. Special thanks to everyone who participated, as well as those who attended in person. A big thank you to Taman Atwal of @TheElemnt for recording it, and Amit Nanwa aka @ColourblindPhotography_ for capturing the event.
