Show Notes

This week on the podcast Andy's chatting with Stephen Buckley, head of information at Mind; the charity who are actively fighting for mental health by providing advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. Stephen, one of Mind's spokespeople, manages their Infoline and is Mind's in-house expert on all things mental health. 

In this week's episode, Stephen speaks to Andy about how important it is to look after your mental health, seek out help when things get too much, how COVID has affected the collective mental state of the country, and how the cost of living crisis could see a spike in mental health problems, disproportionately among those who are already struggling.

Mind provides a wide range of services that aim to support people on their journey to better mental health, and after recently re-branding are definitely not passive in their approach, they're now more boldly "fighting for mental health".
