B Adair grew up in rural Alberta, in a small town where everybody knew everybody else’s business. He had to deal with the challenges of coming out as transgender in a town where people weren’t always welcoming. On top of that, he also struggled with PTSD, anxiety and depression as a result of his work as a paramedic.
He talks about how hard it can be to find adequate mental health care in small communities in the video above.
B is one of five ambassadors for the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health’s Faces of Mental Illness project, where Canadians share their experiences of illness, diagnosis, and care.
