Hi , im in the process of designing a workshop and part of it will be focusing on exploring mental health and wellbeing ,however very few people know about the roots of both and how far it goes back and how people were viewed and what we thought might help them. In this episode i explore the two different paths that are slowly becoming inter-related . Mental health and wellbeing however has two very different origins , mental health being founded alot of Kraplins work in psychiatric institutions and wellbeing coming from Chinese and Vedic philosophies , but what shifted. What happened after 1020's ? why were they also seen as different entities and how has this evolved? what started to happen in the 50's 60's and 70's and now whats driving the agenda? this is part one in and in the follow ups i will explore some of my own experiences of both paths ,how i teach about mental health, some of the holistic and alternative methods that are gaining traction to being seen as effective methods as well as some tools to help you develop your awareness and tools to cope .

please note if you are struggling with your mental health do seek help
