Couch to coached - AWARD WINNING running podcast.Season 3 Ep 82 – Lost Parkruns, Mini Athletics & Men's Mental HealthThis week, it's just Rob and Ben — and trust us, that's more than enough chaos to fill an hour.From getting hilariously lost en route to a parkrun to dodging technical issues at the start of the show, the lads dive into a packed weekend of events, training updates, and parenting wins. Ben recounts a wild mini athletics competition (yes, toddlers can sprint!), while Rob reflects on the joy and madness of Maccasfield Parkrun.But it's not all laughs — it's also Men's Mental Health Awareness Week, and Rob and Ben take time to open up about the importance of checking in, talking, and running as a tool for wellbeing. With shout outs to inspiring local runners and a look ahead to exciting future guests, this one's a feel-good mix of honesty, humour, and community love.

Mental Health Awareness Week is being recognised worldwide, as well as the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. We heard from Tony Cealy, Lloyd Curtis, Errol Thompson, Sharmone Preddie and Yusuf Muhammad from The Black Men's Consortium. We also speak with therapist and founder of Find A Balance, Samantha Grant, then 1Xtra's Kaylee Golding joins us from Birmingham.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Around the world are thousands of associations, groups of people, clubs if you like, that represent radio amateurs. Some of those associations are anointed with a special status, that of "member society" or "peak body", which allows them to represent their country with their own governments and on the international stage to the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union, through a global organisation, the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. Some of these are known across our whole community, the ARRL in the USA, the RSGB in the UK, and the WIA in Australia. Some much less so, the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, or the ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, for example. In an attempt to get a deeper understanding of what distinguishes these organisations, I visited a dozen member society websites. Cultural sensibilities and aesthetics aside, the variety and sense of priority is both pleasing and astounding. Starting close to home, the WIA, the Wireless Institute of Australia, shows news as the most important and the top story is a radio contact between the International Space Station and a school, held about two weeks ago. The ERAU, the Estonian Radio Amateurs Association, features an article about the 2025 General Meeting outlining who was there, what was discussed and thanking the participants for their contributions. When I visited, the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, top news item, was the renewed defence of the 902-928 MHz Amateur Radio Band, from a few days ago. The most important issue for the ARRL is that you read the latest edition of QST magazine, but only if you're a member. The RSGB, the Radio Society of Great Britain, has an odd landing page that links to the main site, which features much of the same content. The latest news is "Mental Health Awareness Week" and encourages us to celebrate kindness in our community. The DARC, the German Amateur Radio Club, has a page full of announcements and the top one was an article about current solar activity including a coronal hole and various solar flares. The ERASD, the Egyptian Radio Amateurs Society for Development, uses qsl.net as its main website. It features many images with text, presumably in Arabic, that unfortunately I was not able to translate. Curiously the landing page features some English text that welcomes all interested to join. I confess that I love the juxtaposition between a Yaesu FT-2000 transceiver and the images of Tutankhamun and the pyramids. The RAC, the Radio Amateurs of Canada, use their homepage to promote its purpose, and features many pictures of their bi-monthly magazine, which you can only read if you're a member, which is where many of the homepage links seem to go. The RCA, the Radio Club of Argentina, is promoting the 2024-2025 Railway Marathon, including links to descriptions of what constitutes a Railway Activation, how to reserve your station, and upcoming and past activations. There's also a reminder to renew your license. The ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, has a very sparse landing page showing their mission and not much else. Clicking around gives you lots of information about the history, activities, awards and the like. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out how to become licensed in India. There's hardly any images. In contrast, the URA, the Union of Radio Amateurs of Andorra, lands you on a page with contact details and not much else. Clicking through the site gives you lots of pictures of happy people and maps, lots of maps. The KARL, the Korean Amateur Radio League, features an announcement with a link to the 24th Amateur Radio Direction Finding, from a week ago, but it requires a login to actually read it. The JARL, the Japan Amateur Radio League, features an announcement to a form you can complete to join the "List of stations from which you do not wish to receive QSL cards." The NZART, the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters, features a big button to latest news and clicking on it shows the "Jock White Field Day", which was held several months ago. I wasn't able to see the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, since the page didn't load for me. The "Wayback machine", also known as archive.org, from a capture a few days ago, showed a news item announcing the intent to organise the 1st Class C Amateur Radio Technical "something", I say "something" because I cannot actually load the article and see what it has to say. The event was scheduled for a month ago, the announcement was from several months ago. Content aside, finding sites was interesting too, mind you, there's plenty of member associations that don't have any web presence at all. Is that by choice, or necessity? The IARU list of member societies conflicts with the list of national organisations shown on Wikipedia. The IARU has about 160 entries, I say about, since the list isn't really formatted as much as it's congealed. Let's just say, perhaps a table for tabular data might be a novel approach. Wikipedia is slightly better formatted, it lists 93 national organisations. As it happens, both include a link to the national organisation for China, which is either the Chinese Radio Sports Association, with apparently two different acronyms, either CRSAOA, or CRSA, or if you believe the IARU as a source, it's the one I mentioned earlier, the CRAC. I don't know which one is right, but at least we can assume that the IARU page was updated formally, rather than edited by someone on the internet. Regardless of which one is the "real" Chinese national amateur radio organisation, none of the websites loaded for me. Let's move on. It's interesting that several non-English sites like Korea, Japan and Germany feature a button that allows their site to be translated into English. What's even more interesting is that the English version of the site is not in any way the same content. In many cases it appears to be information relevant to English visitors rather than a translation. One notable exception is Estonia, which allows a visitor to read their site in Estonian or English right out of the box. Unsurprisingly, the ARRL website has no buttons for Spanish, even though that represents about 13 percent of the USA population, let alone any other language. I'd encourage you to visit a few and see what you can learn about the other members of our community around the world. My visits leave me with questions. What do these organisations stand for? What do they do? Are they there for amateurs, for aspirant members, the general public, for regulators, for their members, for fund raising and advertising, or international visitors and tourism? It seems to me that looking at just a few of these organisations reveals a great many things about how they understand their own role and how they deliver service and just how much money they have to play with to make that happen. I'll leave you to ponder how effective they might be and what your role is in that endeavour. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and it's an important topic for us here at Absolute Radio. This special show celebrates the power of community and connection. Bush and Richie will have expert advice, and personal stories as they talk openly about how togetherness and community can lift us up in tough times. Whether it's friends, family, neighbours, or the Absolute Radio family, you're never alone. And if you're struggling with your mental health, it's OK to not be OK. You can find lots of information on help and support on our website at absoluteradio.co.uk

In the fourth episode of the season — recorded during Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18 May, 2025) — Elizabeth Howlett, editor at PRmoment and Dean Connelly, founder of Latte Recruitment are joined by Nick Morey, co-CEO at Dynamo PR who explains how taking a counselling skills course improved his leadership skills.

Using all modes on 5.7 and 10GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 15th of May 2025 This week, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Solar Cycle 25 maximum is now over. With a reduced solar flux index and an almost blank Sun, there was little to get excited about. By Thursday, the 15th of May, the SFI was 122, but previously, on the 12th, it had been down to 116, which is the lowest it has been for some time. There is still a lot of solar activity going on, but most of it is not conducive to good HF propagation. Over the past week, we have had two X-class solar flares and five M-class events. The X-class events were associated with coronal mass ejections, but these appear to have been directed away from Earth. A fast solar wind has resulted in the Kp index standing at four for a lot of the time, namely on the 9th and 10th of May and again on the 14th and 15th. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon at this point in the solar cycle and adds some evidence that we are now in the declining phase of Cycle 25. Next week, NOAA predicts that things may improve with the SFI set to rise from the 19th of May. It forecasts the SFI will start the week around 115, but then will climb steadily, reaching 145 by the 1st of June. After a brief rise on the 19th with a Kp of four, things then become more settled with a Kp of two between the 22nd and the 28th of May. A large elongated coronal hole became Earth-facing on 16th May, which could cause raised K indices and lower MUFs from today, the 18th of May, onwards. It looks like the best HF F2-layer conditions may occur between the 22nd and 28th of May. And don't forget, despite the HF doldrums, we are now well into Sporadic-E season with short-skip occurring, predominantly on 10m. But more of that shortly. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The prolonged spell of high pressure is likely to remain until near the end of this week, so there is plenty of time to get some more Tropo in the log. Cloudier and cooler air over eastern Britain at the end of last week may enhance the Tropo by adding moisture under the inversion. For most places, the strongest Tropo conditions will be overnight and early morning, then they will degrade as the daytime heating destroys the surface temperature inversion. Meteor scatter is declining a little, apart from a few stragglers from early May showers, so it's probably better to keep to the early morning period as your go-to time for meteor scatter to focus on any random input. Rain scatter is unlikely until next weekend, but it might be worth thinking about the GHz bands from this Friday, the 23rd of May, onwards. Aurora is a different matter, and the solar activity is likely to keep things interesting as a large sunspot group rotates into an Earth-facing position. Strong Es opened on Wednesday, the 14th of May, so it's definitely the season to be checking the upper HF and lower VHF bands for Sporadic-E. In this recent opening, the Dourbes ionosonde peaked at an Es critical frequency of 14 MHz, which is a very high value, even for mid-season. There were strong signals from the central Mediterranean on 6m CW, and some may have even got some 2m digital mode action from the brief opening. Check the Propquest NVIS tab for the day to see the details of this event. Although weak jet streams were present, the opening may well have been helped by some very intense, slow-moving thunderstorms over France. Remember to start checking on 10m and, if it's open, look to the higher bands of 6m, 4m, up to 2m. EME path losses are still falling. Moon declination ended last week at minimum but goes positive again this Thursday, the 22nd of May. Moon windows and peak elevation are again rising. 144MHz sky noise is high this weekend, falling back to low as the week progresses. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In this special Mental Health Awareness Week edition of The Burnt Chef Journal, host Kris Hall is joined by four inspiring voices from our global ambassador community - Louise De Beer, Matt Loughrey, Tony Lewis, and Louise Jackson - for a powerful, honest conversation about mental health in the hospitality industry. Together, they share personal stories of isolation, resilience, and the importance of community in overcoming mental health challenges. From cultural barriers to building support systems, this episode explores how connection and belonging can transform not only individuals, but the industry as a whole. Whether you're on the front lines of hospitality or supporting from behind the scenes, this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone - and that we are truly stronger together.

In this powerful Mental Health Awareness Week conversation, Angela is joined by returning guest Daryn Mason, a former tech exec turned psychotherapist, to explore why so many men struggle to talk about their mental health. Together they unpack the emotional cost of staying silent, the societal pressures that shape male identity, and the real impact of high-performance environments on wellbeing. From the early signs of burnout to full breakdown, Daryn shares his dual perspective as both a survivor and a therapist with insight, warmth, and clarity.   Themes include: – The three stages of burnout: flameout, burnout, rustout – Why success and mental health aren't opposites – Perfectionism, performance identity & compartmentalisation – The importance of active listening and real recovery – Why men often wait until it's “too late” to get help   Links: – "Working Pluralistically with Burnout: A therapist's guide" - Daryn's burnout guide for therapists: https://amzn.eu/d/6NjxmHQ – Connect with Daryn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darynmason/

Hello and welcome to this week's episode, recorded during UK's Mental Health Awareness Week (12 - 18 May 2025). Today, we're delving into how our own behaviours profoundly impact our mental well-being, something we often overlook amidst external pressures. We explore the idea that behaviours we've fallen into likely made sense at some point. However, as our lives and environments constantly evolve, clinging to static behaviours can inadvertently pull us away from being our best. So, for the sake of our mental health, let's consider assessing our behaviours: what's truly helping us, what's hindering us, and what small, focused changes could we make?

  If you've ever felt like showing up in your business is exhausting or wondered why something as 'simple' as posting on social media can leave you feeling wiped out - you are not alone. This week, for Mental Health Awareness Week, I'm joined by Dr. Bernadette Dancy, a stress management coach and nervous system educator, for a powerful conversation about how we can manage our stress more sustainably while continuing to show up with presence and purpose. With over 15 years of experience studying the science and psychology of human potential, including a PhD in Sport Psychology, Bernadette brings a grounded, evidence-based approach to helping us understand our stress responses and build healthier ways of working. We cover so much in this episode, including: Why stress isn't something to avoid - but something be aware of and to recover from Bernadette's powerful “stress bucket” analogy and how to spot when you're near the top The difference between a healthy stretch and nervous system dysregulation How to find your Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning and work in a way that feels right for you The role of somatic tools and breathwork in calming your system before visibility moments How to stay grounded when you're holding space for others Why your nervous system might be more activated than you think - and how to track it with awareness, not judgement This conversation is full of wisdom, science-backed insights, and practical tools to help you show up with more self-awareness, sustainability and self-compassion.  Connect with Bernadette: Instagram: @bernadettedancy_stresscoach @stress.eg.ig  Websites: https://www.bernadettedancy.co.uk https://www.stress-ed.co.uk Services Stress Assessment: https://stress-ed.co.uk/coaching/ 1-1 Coaching: https://stress-ed.co.uk/coaching/ CPD Training: https://stress-ed.co.uk/training/ Connect with Vicki: Follow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknights Grab my free visibility guide: https://vickiknights.co.uk/visibility Website: https://vickiknights.co.uk   Ready to work together?

This special solo episode marks Mental Health Awareness Week with a deeply personal story from Angela Scott. It's not a story of crisis or collapse, but of quiet misalignment and the slow, steady realisation that “not that bad” isn't the same as alright. If you've ever felt like you're performing a life that no longer fits, this one's for you.   Key Themes: The invisible cost of overadaptation in high-functioning professionals Why mental health challenges don't always look dramatic Trust, misfit, and the slow erosion of self in misaligned systems Letting go of performative roles and reclaiming vitality Redefining success through clarity, not consensus   Connect: If this episode resonated with you, Angela would love to hear from you.

The KentOnline Podcast has spoken to two former workers who say they quit the ambulance service after being unable to cope in such a “toxic” environment.South East Coast Ambulance Trust, which operates across Kent, says it does not tolerate inappropriate behaviour but their leadership has been accused of being critical, strict and overbearing. Also in today's podcast, to mark the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, a Kent mum who has lost three friends is sharing their stories in the hopes of encouraging men to seek support and talk to one another.She's campaigning for more awareness particularly for young boys in school. Protestors have been spotted at multiple Kent landmarks over the weekend as part of a nationwide stunt.Campaigners were seen in Dover, Aylesford, Folkestone, Margate and Broadstairs as the fight for more paternity leave for UK fathers, which has been described as the worst in Europe, heats up.Plans for 400 homes on a former landfill have been submitted despite villagers claiming their home is now “as busy as central London”. The waste site has been left empty since the mid 1990s.And in sport it's been a huge weekend for Whitstable Town FC who have won the FA Vase for the first time in their history. We've got reaction from the player/manager as well as from one of the goal scorers.

On World Mental Health day 2024 Psychology in the Classroom discusses Mindfulness. We eschew the ‘Crystals and Muesli' version and reframe it to ask how to be more attentive, calmer, more grounded, more aware, more responsive, less anxious. Willem Kuyken and Maggie Farrar join me to discuss, how we can make moments in our day to be mindful and how this can help us align ourselves better with our personal values.  You can find the podcasts on the Myriad Trial into Mindfulness in schools via this link: https://changingstatesofmind.com/mindfulness-miniseries This is the link to Willem's website and book: https://mindfulnessforlife.uk/ This is the link to Maggie's website and book: https://www.empoweringleadership.co.uk/  

Today we speak to Australian Radio host and mental health advocate Gus Worland who has been campainging to improve mental health for blokes in Australia, and the similarities between mens health there and in and New Zealand.

Relationships are not without drama - but when the drama in the present is actually triggering things from the past…we might be in danger of losing that relationship.  Learn about our very human responses to survive & how they sometimes happen so often, they become habit. Whether it's your relational trauma or the trauma of someone you know and love - we can all use tools to recognize trauma responses in relationships (and hopefully support a more intentional shift). And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend. 

Recognize trauma immediately - without getting sucked in to the emotional vortex. Come away with a creative intervention to help you recognize and process the trauma in your life, as well as resources for dealing with trauma and PTSD professionally. Whether it's your trauma or the trauma of someone you know and love - we can all use tools to recognize the hardest things in life. It starts with you, so have a journal on hand or a good friend to dialogue with what comes up for you in this episode. And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend.

What if there was a way to control our emotions more when it mattered? Get ready to hold your own as you 1) Notice 2) Channel, and 3) Express your emotions as energy BEFORE they hijack your world. Whether you're the person that implodes or explodes - we all need tools for balancing our emotions. It starts with you, so have a journal on hand or a good friend to dialogue with what comes up for you in this episode. And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend.

In our latest Scotland Outdoors podcast Helen Needham meets regenerative farmer Nikki Yoxall in the hills of Aberdeenshire. Nikki's cattle are outside all year round, moving from field to field as part of a system called mob grazing. She tells Helen about the benefits it has for the cattle and the land.In the last few years, there's been an explosion in the number of community run gardens across the country. These bring huge positives to those who look after and visit them. However, new research from Aberdeen University suggests that sometimes the pressures of running such a project can mount up. Rachel went to speak to Professor David Burslem to hear more.The theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week has been movement, and on Out of Doors, we love nothing better to help clear our heads than heading out for a walk. Mark went along to join a group doing just that with Moray based charity Nature 4 Health. They aim to connect people with nature, each other and themselves, and Mark hears from some of those taking part about the benefits they feel of being part of the group.A new project linking up poets with farmers to shine a light on growing food has been launched by the Gaia Foundation. It involves 10 poets around the UK who each spent time on farms in order to produce a new poem. For the Scotland Outdoors podcast, Helen Needham went to meet Edinburgh-based poet Iona Lee who was paired with Lauriston Agroecology Farm in the city. They went for a wander on a very wet day to chat about Iona's relationship with the natural world.Mark visits the National Trust for Scotland's St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve to see how the seabird colony there is faring.As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to an end, on Saturday we celebrate World Therapeutic Horticultural Day. One of the organisations involved is Trellis, who are based in Perth. We chat live to Fiona Thackeray, their chief executive officer, about what therapeutic gardening is and the different people they work with.If you're interested in climbing, you might want to check out a new BBC podcast. It's part of a series called Amazing Sports Stories and it's called Chasing Mountains. Rachel spoke to the presenters Joanna Jolly and Kathy Karlo who told her more about making the series and let her hear some clips.Have you ever heard of the term Everesting? The idea is simple, but the activity is incredibly tough. Cyclists pick a hill and ride repeats of it in a single activity until they climb the height of Mount Everest - 8,848m. It's something that musician Mark Bruce has become passionate about after struggling with his mental health. He told our Travelling Folk colleagues about his challenges, and we hear an excerpt where he talks about how extreme exercise saved him.And to round off Mental Health Awareness week, we take a moment to be mindful with a soundscape.
