Join Brad & Jess as we welcome Christine Lapeer (RN BNSc CPMHN). Christine is a Fishing Therapist who started a program called Mindful Fishing in Ontario. The program takes first responders suffering from PTSD and other mental health issues out on the water to connect with nature. 

In this episode, we talk about Christine's incredible program and the science behind why fishing is so great for our mental health. This episode is one of our favourites... let's get the conversation started!
