What can the disability justice movement teach us about how we bridge the gap between availability and accessibility in mental healthcare?

In this episode, we speak to Janani Vaidya, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst and researcher, to understand how we can unlearn our rigid ideas about mental healthcare, the scope this provides for increasing accessibility of services and yet another metaphor in this series, this time about a wall, to visualize what accessibility can look like in practice.

How can we draw from the neurodiversity movement to redefine outcomes from therapy?

In this episode we critically examine ableism in recovery-focused approaches to therapy drawing deep insights from the speaker, Anushree, a non-binary, queer and neurodivergent mental healthcare professional whose practice is informed by trauma informed, queer affirmative and neurodivergence affirmative lenses.
