As a young child, Adam was persuaded to participate in the arts. The experience was life changing for him, and had a big impact on his personal development, confidence and self-esteem. Doors began to open which he never knew existed. Because of this, in 2014, Adam founded Total Insight Theatre - a charity that uses the arts to tackle important social issues, improving the mental health of young people, and ensuring they have access to creative programmes which help them to develop lifelong skills.
In this episode, Adam talks about the importance of the arts, and why arts organisations and statutory services should work more closely together to better support, and provide opportunities for young people.
Note: Names mentioned in this episode have been changed to safeguard the young people that Adam works with at Total Insight Theatre.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
