Triggorama

This episode of Triggorama features Dr. Arlene MacDougall, who brings her expertise in psychiatry and recovery-oriented mental health care to the conversation. She explores how recovery is more than symptom management — it’s about building meaningful lives, addressing triggers, and creating systems that support people holistically.

Through her insights, Dr. MacDougall challenges traditional ways of thinking about mental health and highlights the need for compassion, innovation, and collaboration in care. This discussion offers listeners a thoughtful look at how families, providers, and communities can help shape better pathways to wellness.

What is Triggorama?

In a sea of podcasts, Triggorama stands out. We address topics that people may want to shy away from in an informative, non-judgmental and fact-based listening space.

Our goal is simple - We want to share information about mental health and addictions. We're talking to thought leaders and people with lived experience to help our listeners who are struggling with their own mental health and addiction concerns. Or maybe you are supporting a loved one we have you covered. Together, we will trigger positive outcomes to increase our collective capacities while impactfully improving the lives of those we serve.
