John caught up with Mike to discuss all the things that have been happening since our Begin Again in 10 season. The world around us has been constantly changing and adapting to this 'new normal' and Talk About it Mate is no different - hear from Mike on all the exciting groups and ventures that have been and are going on right now.

As part of our PROUD ABOUT IT MATE project launch, we are excited to present to you our first ever bonus episode! 

The brainchild of the amazing Sarah and produced by the wonderful John, they are joined in this chat by long-time Talk About It Mate contributor Levi and the lovely Dayna for a wide ranging chat all about LGBTQIA+ issues. 

It would mean a great deal to us if you could please share this podcast and spread the word about our upcoming online Proud About It Mate group on Wednesday 25th August at 6:30pm!

WEEK 10: GROWTH featuring Mike and John, along with returning guest hosts Sarah and Laura!

Job done!

Begin again in 10 - a guided and supported pathway for wellness and resilience.

When Talk About It Mate came about, it had a mission. To make sure people never felt like they were alone and that there was the support they were looking for, that they needed right there and then.

The podcast episodes will focus on honest talk and validation on topics beginning with things such as Loneliness and Failure all the way through to Self-Compassion, Courage and Pride.

These topics were not chosen at random. They are carefully considered to mirror the journey that our founder, volunteers and members have been on towards wellness and recovery - a journey that never ends. This campaign seeks to give people hope in a practical, accessible way - no lofty concepts and out of reach achievements. All that's required is to show up.... and we did!
