The Current has been flooded with responses to the program Steven Page hosted about mental health and mental illness. And we wanted to hear more. So, as part of the CBC's Live Right Now initiative, we planned a special, national phone-in edition of The Current, focussed on mental health.

Anna Maria Tremonti was joined by Steven Page, who has himself struggled with mental illness, as well as Doctor David Goldbloom, the Vice-Chair of the Mental Health Commission of Canada. They took calls from Canadians across the country, about their experiences of dealing with mental health challenges.
