It's tough to have conversations about mental health, grief and loss. To open up about our stories and how we have been affected is a vulnerable place. Getting the talk started is one of the biggest steps. This is exactly what we do with Avery Tom & Dakota Charron.

We talk about The See Through Initiative - that supports mental health awareness and resources. Plus, we chat about "Behind OUR Eyes" - an upcoming creative anthology of local people's experiences on dealing with mental health issues.
