POSTGRADUALLY

This weeks episode is all about bringing awareness to mental health. As graduates a lot of us deal with mental health or know someone who has. Research shows that 70% of graduates having said they have experienced mental health issues, due to this it is important that we bring awareness to the topic and discuss the issues the majority deal with. I’m joined with six amazing graduates in this episode, where they openly share their experience with mental health, how they deal with it and why it’s so important to talk about mental health. We really hope you enjoy this episode and feel less alone by listening to the stories and advise that is shared.
