Musician trying to erase
stigmas of mental health
A Seaforth woman releases a cassette of her own songs
By Stew Slater
St. Marys Journal -Argus
SEAFORTH - Some important
windows have been opened for St.
Marys native Kim Souch recently.
Now, she hopes to give others the
same chance.
Singer/songwriter Souch, daugh-
ter of St. Marys residents Roy and
June Blanshard, has been travelling
around Southwestern Ontario in re-
cent weeks, promoting a 12 -song
cassette of her music called Let's
Open the Window.
She financed the whole project,
including recording time pro-
fessional musicians, to the tune of
$5,800. She hopes to recoverr
costs, then donate the rest to the
Huron County branch of the Ca-
nadian Mental Health Association
(CMHA).
Souch, a Seaforth resident, has
been volunteering with CMHA Hu-
ron for two years. For the past nine
months, she's been a paid part-time
employee in public education and
fundraising.
Her work has made her realize
that mental health is just as im-
portant as physical health. Un-
fortunately, most people don't treat
it that way.

Souch says people should feel
just as comfortable seeking help at
CMHA as they do seeking advice
from a physician. But they don't,
because they are afraid, in a lot of
cases justifiably, that others will
think they're "crazy" and treat them
differently. -
"There's no shame in getting in-
formation, but a lot of people won't
reach out for help because of that
stigma," Souch says.
The cassette's theme song, Let's
Open the Window, deals with that
issue.
"Let's open the Window" de-
clares the chorus, "chase away the
old ideas that have stood in our
way...freshen up our lives and
chase our fears away."
Windows have opened for Souch
recently. Not only has her work at
CMHA allowed her sot see mental
health in a different Tight, she has
also rediscovered the joy of music.
"I've been playing guitar since I
was 10 and writing songs since my
early teens. Then, when I got to
my mid-20s, I decided 1 wanted to
do something with (my talent)," she
said.
She placed a classified ad in the
local paper, asking for musicians to
join her in a band, playing "new"
country and old rock and roll mu-
sic. Response was swift, and she
now sings and plays guitar for a
five -piece ensemble called Neon

Blue.
The band won a contest at the
Wingham Homecoming in July,
earning $1,000 and eight hours of
studio recording time. Souch says
they hope to record a demo tape
with that windfall, including two
cover songs and two originals.
A full length recording may be in
the future for Neon- Blue, some-
thing they can promote as they play
live shows. Up until now, they
have been playing mostly Huron
County venues.
O,t her own, Souch sang for
CKNX TV's "country video dance
party" earlier this month, and wrote
a song called The World is an Open
Book for the Clinton Literacy Fes-
tival in July. -
Right now, however, Souch's
CMHA work is taking up a consid-
erable amount of her time. During
the school year, she performed in
Huron schools promoting the as-
sociation's programs.
Some of the songs on Let's Open
the Window are geared towards
kids. Living Colour is based on a
CMHA project by the same name,
that promotes self-esteem in ad-
olescents.
Another song encourages people,
especially youngsters, to build up
their. confidence for a task that
might, at first, seem impossible.
It's called Swinging Bridge and it's
based on Souch's St. Marys child-
hood.
She remembers working up the
courage to finally cross the old pe-
destrian bridge that used to cross
Trout Creek below Huron Street.
"On the way to school and I
would be late, so I took the shortcut
that I used to hate," Souch recalls
in the song.
The .Seaforth resident displays
her songwriting gift on the cassette.
The tracks are all from the soft
rock/country genre, but there's suf-
ficient variation to keep you en-
tertained, even if you want a quiet
listen without worrying about the
message.
Let's Open the Window was re-
leased in mid-June after about 60
hours of recording at Stratford's
Signature Sound. One thousand
copies were made, and Souch has
sold about 100 so far, just by word
•of mouth.
If anyone in this area wants a
copy, they can call the CMHA Hu-
ron Branch at 1-482-9311.
