On this site you will find regular podcasts focusing on specific areas of mental health and well-being.
The podcasts feature our host, Mike Ellen, who is a manager of the West Essex Children’s & Young People’s Mental Health Support Team. Mike is also an experienced trainer.
Each podcast brings together Mike and 2 or more guests to explore that week’s given topic. Our aim is to use these podcasts to educate and empower listeners while also providing a platform to challenge the stigmas that may exist around mental health topics in general.
On the opportunities page you will find a number of live options for people across Essex with experience of mental ill health to get involved in. Use your own lived experiences to help improve the lives of others.
