Lets talk about Sex with Sara Stone

TRIGGER WARNING - TOPICS DISCUSSED IS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE 
On this weeks episode I am hounoured to have Lachlan O'Donoghue from @20_talk as my guest, Lachlan is the co-founder of a Perth mental health charity, @20_talk.  The charity was born in 2017 after his friendship group lost two close mates to suicice within 2 months. 20Talk aims to be a well-being platform for young adults to engage in mental health and wellbeing education in a way that makes sense to them. Lachlan manages the training arm of the charity. This topic today is close to my heart through our own personal journey with our daughter, through her own mental health battle's during high school and at times being suicidal.  We are wanting to share our story, so if someone who listen's may know, a sister, brother, cousin, friend or family member who is struggling, that you are not alone and there is so much support out there. I wanted to share Lachlan to my listeners, as mental health and suicide is often always a difficult topic to discuss, but in this current day and age the suicide rate is increasing at a rapid rate, and to be able to create awareness around prevention and support rather than the devastation of a loss is incredibly important. 20_talk's purpose is to meet young people where they are at, offer an ear and where applicable challenge them to grow.
