In this episode, co-hosts Kitty and Merregan are joined by Lesley Parker - our Head of Business Support and a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

Lesley shares her insights from two recent courses: a Level 2 Mental Health Awareness course and a Mental Health Responder course. Together, they unpack what mental health really means, the difference between a condition, episode, crisis, and emergency - and explore the truth behind some common myths.

The conversation also dives into mental health in the workplace, the power of speaking openly, and why self-care is essential for maintaining your mental wellbeing.

Whether you work in healthcare or are simply trying to better understand your own brain, this episode is filled with practical insight, honest conversation, and a whole lot of compassion.
