Lets Get Mental: Recent Episodes
Midland Young Advisors
A podcast brought to you by the Midland's Young Advisors, aiming to reclaim the stigma around talking about Mental Health. We will be looking at everything Mental Health related - from current news to our personal learning and experiences of Mental Health Services.
Join Bry, Harry, Jack, and Oli for the final episode of our diagnosis series: My Diagnosis and me. This episode aims to address the relationship between diagnosis and service user and to debate what impact individuals have on their mental health. From identity and resources to limitations and stigma, the label given from a diagnosis plays a major role in somebody’s life, and we are here to tell you a bit about how our stories have played out.
