Healthy Campus Team

In this episode, we explore men’s mental health when it comes to therapy. The barriers that keep us from seeking help and how to overcome difficult situations. From stigma and struggles to resources on campus our host, Liv Taylor, leads discussions with Dylan Sloan and Alex Cameron examining some of the challenges university students are facing. 

The Live Well podcast explores the voices and experiences of students, staff, and faculty at Mount Royal University. This Podcast is intended to be conversation-based, informal, and all about hearing from our MRU community. We will cover a range of health topics and invite people from all across campus to share their experiences and insights. This podcast is hosted by the Healthy Campus Team of Wellness Services.  

Our theme song is "Feeling Sunny" By Scott Holmes. 

This podcast is produced by Jessie Bach and supported by the Community Podcast Initiative.
