This isn't in the handbook
This Isn’t in the Handbook is the podcast where we ask the awkward, honest, important stuff no one else will. Autism, behaviours of concern, learning disabilities...we’re diving into it all with real talk from people who live it, work in it, and try to change the system. There's no manual, so we created a podcast! Hosted by Sara and Scott, produced and edited by Andi, plus student voices from Mercury College. Real people, real stories, big conversations. You're welcome!
A new kind of conversation is on its way. Real stories. Honest voices. Perspectives that matter.
"This isn’t in the Handbook" is more than a podcast - it’s a platform for truth, lived experience, and meaningful change.
