In this episode we will be taking a look at mental health particularly through the lens of the current pandemic, and awareness; highlighting actions you can take to help yourself or others.  

Unfortunately, the current pandemic has seen mental health cases rise as people are forced to isolate and so, we felt it was important to record this episode to aid those who may need it and to raise awareness about this issue.
