Ralph Bryant: Mental Health Advocacy

We sit down with Ralph Bryant – a writer, filmmaker, and mental health advocate who's making waves in Winnipeg's community. Originally from the Bronx, Ralph brings a unique perspective to mental health advocacy, particularly focusing on Black men's mental health through his documentary project "On the Verge." In this episode, Ralph shares:His personal journey through mental health challenges, including his hospitalization in 2018The alarming statistics showing Black youth suicide rates rising faster than any other population in Canada, with Black men four times more likely to die by suicide than Black womenThe "Love Notes Campaign" - a citywide initiative Ralph launched on World Mental Health Day, posting words of affirmation and support throughout WinnipegHow barriers to mental health resources disproportionately affect people of color, with wait times potentially twice as longThe power of personal storytelling as Ralph discusses his documentary "On the Verge," which incorporates real audio recordings from before and during his hospitalization Ralph's journey from trauma to advocacy shows how personal struggles can transform into community action. His Love Notes Campaign stands as a beautiful reminder that sometimes the simplest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference in someone's day. As Ralph powerfully states: "There is no more important right for us to be focused on than the right to our mental health."
