There is no health without mental health . Today we are focusing on the many ways you can receive mental health support. As the American rapper Logic would say “pain don’t hurt the same, I know ”. And it’s true. What works for one might not work for all. The most important thing is getting lifesaving information to the people who most need it.
We asked four experts what can be done to make mental health support more accessible, especially to those who are dealing with natural disasters and major crises. Here are their answers.

In this episode, we talk with humanitarian communicator Kathy Mueller who produced our first magazine podcast series, The Wildfire Diaries, about massive wildfires in Northern Canada in 2017. We talk about that series, her many international missions, and the big changes in humanitarian communications since she began with the Canadian Red Cross almost 20 years ago.
In this episode, we talk about the power of storytelling to inform and inspire. “Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human communication,” says our guest Prodip, a volunteer and multi-media storyteller for the Bangladesh Red Crescent. “It inspires us to be a hero of our own community.” We also speak with one such community hero, Dalal al-Taji, a longtime volunteer and advocate for inclusion of people with disabilities in emergencies response. “In disasters. persons with disabilities sometimes get forgotten.”
