Stephanie Winfrey, a psychotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience in behavioural health, joins us for an eye-opening conversation on the mental health hurdles university students often face. From the surge in anxiety, OCD, and depression during the transition to college life to the stigmas and fears that keep students from seeking the help they need, Stephanie provides a wealth of insights.

We also explore the unique pressures pre-med and nursing students face, particularly those from diverse cultural backgrounds. These students often grapple with immense family expectations to succeed and provide financial support, sometimes while adapting to new educational systems and overcoming past traumas. Stephanie shares the emotional toll of these pressures and the importance of seeking mental health resources.
