We thought the place to start with Surviving in the wild would be first to discuss the issues around the stigma of mental health and why people don't reach out. Firstly you ought to know you can watch all the videos of the project on hour youtube channel Surviving In the wild - YouTube

Stigma then; Why do we feel it? How does it feel? Do people feel it differently? Liam and Ben will be joining me to answer all of these questions. Both cocreation and engagement dabblers, they will be joining me (chris) to spit some facts and obscure metaphors around mental health and reaching out in this fundamentally odd first episode. See the bookmarks below if you want to jump to different sections of the episode. Enjoy.
