TORONTO — As the world’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes prepare to compete this summer, Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) announced Tuesday that season three of Mind Set Go returns to AMI-tv on Wednesday, April 1 at 8 p.m. The series is co-produced by AMI and Anaïd Productions in partnership with the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
The third season (8×60) follows eight Canadians living with a disability, debilitating injury or chronic pain as they transform their physical, mental and emotional health over a 90-day journey of body, mind and soul, says the news release. Lead expert Stephanie Dixon, a 19-time Paralympic medallist, and fellow Paralympians provide encouragement, insight and advice to help the show’s participants face their biggest physical and emotional obstacles head on.
From legal blindness, obesity and high blood pressure to neurological disease, season three of Mind Set Go delves deep into understanding how negative sociological and psychological coping behaviours impact the participants’ health.
Each one-hour episode begins with a participant’s backstory and their struggles to adopt fitness activities while also working on their spiritual well-being. Whether it’s a need to build strength, gain independence or overcome feelings of low self-worth, the participants are all uniquely positioned to make a positive change to achieve optimal health, the release says. To bookend their journey, each sets a physically demanding goal to illustrate how their lives and attitudes have progressed after three months.
The series is developed and produced by Anaïd Productions in association with Accessible Media Inc., with the participation of the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Canada Media Fund, Rogers Telefund, CHEK-TV and the Province of British Columbia Film Incentive BC. Assistance was also provided by the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.
Mind Set Go‘s newest episodes feature Integrated Described Video ensuring they are accessible to viewers who are blind or partially sighted. The complete first two seasons of Mind Set Go are available to stream online at AMI.ca or on the AMI-tv App.
