Welcome to We Are Resilient! Hosted by Hope Adams, RSSW.

In today's episode, local registered massage therapist and Georgian College professor, Christine Killing, joins me for an interview about her life in Simcoe County.

We talked about growing up in Midland, her passion for massage therapy, mental health advocacy, her relationship with her husband, the importance of theatre and storytelling, reminding ourselves to check the facts, and doing the best we can with the skills and knowledge we have at the time.
