  • 8 - Episode 7 - Don't give up

    2020 is a year that has certainly taken more than it's given for many of us.

    But if there's one positive we can take away from the past 12 months, it's that the discussion mental health has become a lot more open and in focus.

    Talking about mental health has become more common over the past decade, but many of us might feel ashamed or fearful about bringing it up.

    But one of the strongest tools for starting the recovery process is just that - talking about it.

    This time on the People of Perth Podcast, mental health is in the spotlight. It's a topic we need to talk about, and our guests will explain why!


    IF YOU NEED SOME SUPPORT:

    Many of us will need support at one point or another during our lives. There's no shame in that!

    In fact, you'd be surprised how many people you know have been in a similar boat.

    Talking is an amazing first step. Taking the problem 'out of your head' can help loosen it's grip over you and help you plan how to fight back.

    If you are struggling, do yourself (and those that care for you) a favour. Get in touch with one of the following support services.

    You deserve the opportunity to change your life for the better - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

    The idea of a community has changed a lot over our the past 50 years.
