We are taking a little break in-between episodes and thought that this is a great opportunity for those of you who missed our episode on the Power of Storytelling the first time around. Enjoy the sun while listening to last season's finale with some fantastic storytellers!
This past spring Chris chatted with three amazing Quebec storytellers: Johanne Pelletier, director, strategic initiatives, University Communication Services, Emma Lanza, administrator, Centre for Clinical Research in Health, and Taylor Tower, communications advisor, Faculty of Arts and Science. In this episode we learn about the value of oral storytelling and some tips on how to craft an effective story from personal experiences to create a connection with an audience. We discuss themes of mental health, coming of age and rituals. We will be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new episode for season two!

It’s already the third episode of season two our Podcast! We discuss Health Literacy. Chris met our Literacy Lowdown guests during last month’s Health and Wellness Fair in Verdun. We talk to Riley from Collective Community Services, Kevin from the Anglo Family Council, and Meghan from YES Montreal about the services their organisations provide to improve health and wellness access for English-speakers in Quebec. We learn about the importance of community groups creating connections to provide better services and the connections between health and employment.
Wendy Seys joins us once again to talk about the health literacy toolkit created by Yamaska Literacy Council with their partners. Wendy tells us how individuals and healthcare providers can become more health literate to help each other.
