One Family’s Quest For Access To Mental Health Service | Holly Moore | TEDxWinnipeg

Holly is sharing her family’s story to illustrate the profound gaps in mental health, medical, addictions, and criminal justice systems. Getting help is far from straightforward, and you never know when you or someone you care about will need it. Her hard-won experience can help inform concrete actions for navigating systems for family members. She is an investigative journalist based in Winnipeg. Holly Moore is an award-winning journalist and a dedicated mother whose profound personal experiences transformed her understanding of mental health and addiction crises. Her son faced significant challenges that exposed the deep disparities between seeking help and receiving it. Through living and covering these stories, Holly has gained unique insights into the complexities of navigating mental health systems, offering a surprising and instructive perspective on the gaps that exist in our approach to care. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
