About Mind Full: The Canadian Psychological Association podcast
The Canadian Psychological Association's podcast Mind Full speaks with experts across Canada and the world on a variety of subjects. We frame current issues through the lens of the science of human behaviour, and focus on important topics related to the mental health of Canadians.
Cancel culture has been around for centuries, maybe for as long as human beings have been around. Today, though, it’s a lot more visible. It also (appears to be) a lot more pervasive than it ever has been before. Dr. Anne Wilson joins the Mind Full podcast to discuss this phenomenon, as well as the myriad of other ways in which our cultural divides get exacerbated.

Increasing access to psychologists for Canadians with Dr. Lesley Graff and Dr. Sean Kidd
As Canadians continue to struggle with high rates of mental illness and shortages of specialists such as psychologists, the CPA released the report “Increasing Access, Reducing Costs and Improving Outcomes: maximizing psychologists’ contributions to Canada’s publicly funded health care systems”. The report outlines five key strategies to help close critical gaps in access and ensure that those in need receive timely, cost-effective, evidence-based psychological care. Dr. Lesley Graff and Dr. Sean Kidd are two of the lead authors on the report, and they join the podcast to talk about the current state of the psychologist workforce in the healthcare system, and where we can go from here.
