In this episode of Stronger Together, Michael Dixon speaks with Erica Cobb, a Master of Social Work student at Carleton University and placement student with Funeral Professionals Peer Support. Erica shares how her lived experiences with mental health, grief, substance use in her family, and neurodiversity helped guide her toward a career in social work. Together, they discuss supporting neurodiverse youth, creating more inclusive schools and workplaces, and why people deserve to be understood rather than judged through stigma or assumptions. Erica also reflects on later diagnosis, masking, and the importance of accessible support for people whose needs may not always be recognized. The conversation explores the unseen emotional weight carried by funeral professionals and the need for mental-health resources designed with their work in mind. Erica shares what she has learned through her placement, including the importance of research, peer support, and helping professionals feel seen by the people supporting them. It is an honest conversation about grief, community, resilience, and the power of human connection. Whether you work in a helping profession, have lived experience with mental health, or simply want to better understand the people around you, this episode offers compassion, insight, and hope.
