Welcome to the first episode of Crisis Storm - an in-depth podcast series that will become the foundational research for a documentary film series called Finding A Way Forward. Join us as we pursue a better understanding of the many crises facing communities which collectively have become a Crisis Storm surrounding Homelessness, Mental Health, Addictions, Drug Overdose, Crime, Polarization, Healthcare, Business Impacts, and Communication Breakdown. The Finding A Way Forward Documentary Series and the Crisis Storm Podcast are produced by Mastermind Studios in Association with AIMCanada Mentorship Society. Our first guest is Alfred Achoba, the Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association in Kamloops. He speaks with us about mental health, homelessness, addictions and the impacts on our community.
