EP3: City Councillor Scott McKeen Confronts Lived Experience

"It's okay to not be okay".

In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with my friend, Edmonton City Councillor, Scott McKeen. 

Authentic; genuine; real -- three words that come to mind when I think of the good Councillor.

Scott has been a passionate advocate for our most vulnerable populations in Edmonton.  In 2013, he launched a Mental Health and Urban Isolation initiative through the City of Edmonton.  He has also been leading affordable housing and harm reduction strategies.

Scott has also been very open about his own lived experience with anxiety, depression and addiction. 

During this episode Scott and I had a wide ranging conversation, jumping back and forth between his own lived experiences, to societal challenges we face today.
