chat chit
We exist to show that you can have normal conversations about mental health , where we understand how people have come through their experiences and learnt how to manage their mental health. We go off on many a tangent but the purpose is to focus on the things that might help you or where you might be able to relate with someone's experiences. We hope to normalise talking about your mental health whether you are having a good day or a bad day or on a day where you might not be sure how you feel.
Chat chit and the website Yormind exist to to try help young people in York and beyond to manage their mental health and direct them towards the support and services that would be best for them. Along the way there is a lot of chatting chit about all topics.
Chat chit is produced and edited by York Mind but the views and opinions expressed in the episode or of those being interviewed and the interviewer.
Trigger warning- Mental health and certain topics are covered on the podcast may be triggering so be mindful of this when listening.

Surviving in the wild with stigma - odd blokes with odd metaphors
We thought the place to start with Surviving in the wild would be first to discuss the issues around the stigma of mental health and why people don't reach out. Firstly you ought to know you can watch all the videos of the project on hour youtube channel Surviving In the wild - YouTube
Stigma then; Why do we feel it? How does it feel? Do people feel it differently? Liam and Ben will be joining me to answer all of these questions. Both cocreation and engagement dabblers, they will be joining me (chris) to spit some facts and obscure metaphors around mental health and reaching out in this fundamentally odd first episode. See the bookmarks below if you want to jump to different sections of the episode. Enjoy.
Minutes;
