This program contains conversations around addiction, severe mental health outcomes, and fatal emergency calls. Viewer discretion is advised.
What do parents, first responders and employees have in common? Feeling stressed and finding work life balance.
The Thread talks to Agatha a working mom raising two young children, 2 firefighters who share their experience in how the Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) program saved them, Professor Alexandra Fiocco reveals what exactly is stress and why it is part of our daily life, and we talk to nature lover Danijela who unearths why long nature walks, also known as forest bathing, could hold the key to our wellbeing.
Are you stressed out? What are your stressors? And how do you relax? Join the conversation on stress with TVO’s The Thread with Nam Kiwanuka.
