Grounded: A Mental Health Podcast for Secondary School Students 

Overview
The project identified three specific issues students in the ADMH program may experience and worked to create resources in the form of a podcast and guide for each of these issues. The issues examined included Prioritizing Mental Health in Post-Secondary Education, Burnout and Diversity Issues in Mental Health.

Episode one considers individual experiences with mental health and looks at College-specific resources to break down walls and promote the de-stigmatization of mental health. Episode two discusses the concept of burnout and how burnout can trigger mental health issues within individuals, while providing student specific resources. Episode three explores how mental health care has typically been explored through a westernized viewpoint, resulting in mental health care practitioners exploring treatment with a “one size fits most” approach. This episode takes an intersectional approach to examine mental health care and how college students access it, while considering the impacts of the historically used westernized viewpoint.
