#20 – Young Healthwatch Chinwag

Recorded: 02/09/2020

Amy from Young Healthwatch returns to the podcast, having previously been on one of our NCS Community Awareness sessions (see link below). She joins us with two Young Healthwatch volunteers; Emily and Heather.

Young Healthwatch is a service that takes the views of young people who access health services to drive change within clinical organisations. We discuss how healthcare services have been coping during the pandemic and what measures schools are putting in place to keep students and staff safe.

We talk about how unusual it is to make a phone call to someone and discuss the possibility that young people are missing out on essential communication skills as a result of modern devices and social media.

We explore cancel culture and ask, are we evolving beyond this modern phenomenon to the point where we give people an opportunity for redemption?

Also on the episode: taking social media breaks, the benefits of volunteering, facing your fears to help you evolve, current media trends and Emily and Heather’s future plans.

Finally, we end on an optimistic note as we talk about what positives have come out of the pandemic.

#19 – Hear and Now 

Recorded: 26/08/2020    

Today we tell you about what we have been up to as a company and our future plans. Just this week the Hear2Listen team have put our podcast on Spotify (see link below), significantly updated our website and developed several programmes from scratch in the response to the struggles that people in our community face.      

In the second half we have a debate about the power of language and how it’s good to be mindful of the words we use.    

PS - This is the first time we have used visuals and we still  have lots to learn. We fully appreciate the quality is POOR in places and we have since learned where it was we went wrong. Please bare with us on this journey and trust that we aim to improve and progress and we are always grateful for your support.

We talk about the challenges of parenting, the sacrifices made and the rewards of having children while exploring the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), how we can evolve within our relationships and what can be learnt from being a parent.     

We also ask if ‘baby books’ help, what is the right age to have children and are people ready for the responsibility of having children?

#16 – Fear Less 

Recorded: 05/08/2020  

Today we are joined by Emily, one of our National Citizen Service (NCS) graduates who went on to be involved with other NCS roles.   

She goes into depth about her early struggles with social anxiety and how she found ways to combat the sometimes debilitating effects through volunteering and doing things that challenged her.   

We talk about school life, social action, our own experiences of anxiety-provoking situations, negative/positive self-talk and the effect that the pandemic is having on young people in her community. We also give you a little bit of insight into how we run the NCS programme.
