Mental health advocates join us to discuss the stigmas around psychosis. Then, this week’s edition of Food Friday looks at ways to use our extra ingredients to reduce food waste.

Featured in this Show

  • Why is psychosis still stigmatized in an era of mental health awareness?

    Research has found that schizophrenia and other conditions that cause psychosis carry more stigma than other mental health conditions, like depression. For Mental Health Awareness Month, a researcher explains how stigma harms those who experience psychosis. Then, we hear from a leader of a group that provides peer-to-peer support for those who experience hallucinations.

  • Food Friday: Recipes to use up those ingredient extras so they don't end up in the trash

    We’ve all had a dish we love that calls for fresh parsley or green onions. You make it, and it’s delicious, but how do you use the rest of those ingredients before they go bad and end up in the trash? We talk to the author of a new cookbook who’s here to help with some delicious recipes that also prevent food waste.
