Here is how each contestant from OT 2017, 2018 and 2020 is doing in terms of albums, EPs and singles right now (11/05/2023)!
First of all, some disclaimers and other stuff
The numbers at the bottom of the artist's name is their listeners on spotify.
The picture I chose is the most recent pic on their instagram where their face is shown; if there's none, I'll then look on google.
If an album / EP / single is in red it means it's been announced but hasn't been released yet
I'm only counting singles not in albums / EPs (for singles after the last album / EP i don't know if they're gonna be in the next one or not so i've added them just in case)
Also I'm only counting collabs when the main artist is the one discussed at that moment
I wont add any remixes or live recordings either
It'll only show stuff after OT, not before.
The order would be descendant (so the first artist shown will be the one who ended up last, and the last one will be the winner)
Keep in mind this doesn't represent an artist 'success' (whatever the fuck that means), a lot of these have branched to musicals, TV, radio, modeling, etc. Also within the music industry, maybe some are doing jobs such as being lyricists or producers etc.
This is not meant to be a comparision between them!! I just wanted to do this cause I thought it would be fun to check at all of them, that's it :)

End Of Act
Change is inevitable. Change is uncomfortable. Our solution-oriented reaction would be to fix it. However, we forget that we need to learn to be okay with the uncomfortable. We have fought, kicked, cried, and screamed just to release the discomfort. Maybe before we start trying to change the world, start with the first person you see in the mirror.
The core essence of a community is the formation of societal cohesion beyond the conventional healthcare system. In celebration of the World’s Mental Health Day, the eThekwini community, NGOs (a community of mental health activists), and the KwaZulu-Natal Mental Health Advocacy Group took the initiative to take to the streets for the advocacy walk, raising awareness about mental health issues and destigmatizing concepts roaming in our communities, cultural influences, and shame (Nair, 2023).
In April 2023, the first nationwide collaborative meeting involving government and mental health professionals was conducted. The introduction of the National Mental Health Policy and Strategic Framework 2013-2020 was on the agenda for the day. It's a document that lays forth a comprehensive and cohesive national mental health policy. The ultimate objective is to promote mental health and wellness while reducing the burden of mental illness on service users, families, and communities.
The framework's main goal is to promote mental health, prevent mental illness, and provide effective treatment and care to people who have mental illnesses. The framework recognizes that mental illness is a significant public health issue and that there is an imperative need to enhance mental health services and support.
The Framework presents a multitude of policies aimed at enhancing access to mental health services, decreasing stigma and prejudice, and increasing mental health awareness and education. The framework also emphasizes the significance of incorporating mental health services into primary care and enhancing community-based mental health services.
The framework's implementation is supported by various initiatives and programs at the national, provincial, and municipal levels. These include creating mental health laws, establishing mental health review boards, and implementing community-based mental health services. To read more about the meetings follow the link below:
The implementation phase is critical since the previous framework was impotent to address the issue of providing accessible, adequate care to children and adolescents. To provide care to the people, one delegate proposed flattening the intervention pyramid and deploying all the specialists in the community.
The greatest driftwood slowing the river flow is stigma, societal labelling, and discrimination. Therefore, mental health promotion involves raising awareness and promoting mental health literacy, as well as improving attitudes towards mental illness and people with mental illness. To ensure the success of the framework, it is essential to improve access to mental health services, develop and implement mental health policies and guidelines, and increase the capacity of mental health professionals to prevent an overburdening system (Morar et al., 2023).
As OT students, we consider ourselves to be agents of change, attempting to achieve client-centeredness. It talks about the role we play and the importance of adequate community health services. We must consider cultural influences, resources, and accessibility. How can we achieve equity in healthcare? The aim is to close the gap between people and healthcare services.
I have seen growth both professionally and personally. Learning to accept the moving wheel means understanding that we need people, destinations, and landmarks in our journey through life to gravitate toward success and move away from our comfort zones, allowing failures to be testimonies.
Who would have thought ten weeks ago I would be here? No white flags were raised, just badges as a token of the journey.
See you on the next adventure!
Love the Green Scrubs Chronicles.
