Mental - The Podcast to Destigmatise Mental Health

This week we’re joined by friend of the podcast and fierce mental health campaigner Sarah Cardwell. We get into her experiences of mental illness growing up and managing borderline personality disorder now with how these experiences inform her approach to parenting.

Here we go! Mental is the brain-child of Bobby Temps, who lives and thrives while managing his own mental health. Every Thursday we delve into a factor or condition that influences the mind and how to better manage it.
