UPDATE: All 8 episodes of Better are available to view on the Telus Stories for Caregivers platform.
Better is a narrative documentary series based on the real-life experiences of journalist and mental health advocate Joëlle Pouliot whose life was put on hold six years ago when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Why ‘Better?’ It’s the word every caregiver wants to hear and be able to give.
- How are you feeling? Better.
- How’s Joëlle doing these days? Better.
- Why don’t I feel… Better?
Yet, saying you’re ‘better’ is also an easy way to hide from the reality of living with and caring for someone with mental health issues.
