*TRIGGER WARNING - Topics discussed include mental health and suicide*
In this episode we chat with the founder of Accidental Counsellor, Cutty Felton, about mental health, suicide prevention and how to give support to those around us.
We discuss how certain pressures associated with gender can impact our mental health, how trendy 'resilience' training may not actually be the best approach, as well as some straightforward and effective tips for helping other people through difficult times and personal crises.
