  • Summary

  • This episode is dedicated to the memory of Maya.


    A century ago our mental health system was fixated on eugenics and protecting the ‘white race’. So to understand everything playing out Doctors Hilary Stace and Hamish Spencer take us through the subject. This one is heavy and I won’t judge if you don’t listen but I made this because we can’t forget what’s been done.
