Welcome to the 'Let's Talk: Mental Health' podcast, where we get together with different people and experts to chat about mental health. We all have mental health, and we can all experience mental health problems. So on this podcast we explore the topics that can affect how we think and feel.

Our regular podcast features interviews with a number of interesting people involved in mental health, including people who have experienced mental health problems, campaigners and mental health experts.

ACTIVITY: 20 minute Gratitude Meditation Session

Life can feel really hard at times. The demands of work, family and the daily grind can accumulate, impacting both our mental and physical wellbeing. And, because we feel so busy, we neglect the importance of slowing down and pumping the brakes for a chance to reset.

That's why, for Mental Health Awareness Week this year, we are inviting you to take a moment to pause and recalibrate. Rebecca Reed (founder of Siendo) will be joining us on Zoom to take us through a 20-minute guided meditation so that you can start your Monday off the right way. No matter whether you're new to meditation or a meditation Jedi, this session will provide you with a beautiful moment of calm and tranquillity.

ACTIVITY: Creative Workshop with Ark-T - Embracing Uncertainty NO LONGER TAKING BOOKINGS

Capacity 30

Exploring emotional responses in uncertain times

By connecting with people through shared experiences and anxieties, we can build new hope. In this workshop, we will explore abstract image-making techniques, individually and/or as a group. We will build trust within ourselves and our environment. We will let go of control and try to rely on the people around us for support. We will experience the feeling of letting go of things we can't always control.
