Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mental Health Break: Supporting Perinatal Mental Health
Q: What are the core goals of developing this program for pregnant and postpartum people?
Dr. Reynolds describes creating a service through Mood Disorders Manitoba that offers evidence-based support during pregnancy and postpartum, with future evaluation to determine effectiveness in reducing depression and anxiety, improving social connections, and enhancing maternal self-efficacy and attachment.
Mental Health Break: Supporting Perinatal Mental Health
Q: So Rita, how did MDEM get involved in this initiative?
Rita explains that the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba had a longstanding women's program which highlighted postpartum depression as a key area, and funding restrictions had paused that program. When PRiME funded a new project with a joint proposal including Dr. Reynolds, they saw an opportunity to revive and expand services through a collaborative research-based approach.
U Radio News: Rethinking Land Acknowledgements as Living Commitments
Q: How can organizations move from words to action in addressing land and environmental concerns?
By treating treaties as living relationships, listening to the land, and acting on issues like environmental protection and respectful reciprocity, rather than simply reading a fixed text.
U Radio News: Rethinking Land Acknowledgements as Living Commitments
Q: What does land acknowledgment mean to you when it's spoken in public spaces?
It should be less about saying a script and more about being present with the land and with the relationships involved, allowing the acknowledgment to guide ongoing responsibilities rather than a one-time statement.
La lecture – Notre expérience : des histoires qui nous façonnent
Q: Do you like fiction more, or non-fiction more?
Yeva finds non-fiction more interesting because it presents real events in a way she can understand and find awe in.
