We spent another afternoon out in Bristol chatting to ordinary people in the street about mental health.

This week mainly focussed on men’s mental health, in particular exploring the idea of vulnerability and asking the question “Is it ok for men to cry?”

We also asked people what the words “mental health” mean to them & what they think is causing the increase in mental health issues in our modern society.

We spent an afternoon out in Bristol chatting to ordinary people about their experience of anxiety & personal ways they have found to manage & deal with anxious feelings.

Amongst all the different responses we had, the overwhelming majority of people told us that music played a strong part in their anxiety management.

Just goes to show the awesome power of music!

Rich & Al chat the evening after their Skydive and break down the experience; talking about how they felt before, during and after the jump.

Al shares how he managed his anxiety as is was building up to the jump time.
