The Ghost Pipe Podcast is a series of conversations exploring the experiences of both professionals and clients who have encountered colonial bias within the field of psychology. Jolene Thrasher, an Inuk woman, shares her story of unmet mental health needs and how she found healing within an Indigenous context.

Though the need for mental health support is high, the treatment offered is often not a good fit for Indigenous people. The “mismatch” between the mental health needs of an Indigenous person and what is generally offered in counselling and therapy is illuminated by the stories of Indigenous individuals. The conversations shared in The Ghost Pipe Podcast provide a place to hear these stories, highlight existing bias in the field of psychology, and strengthen the call to decolonize mental health care.
