Podcasts
Each year, one in five of us will experience a mental health problem. Mental health problems are common but they are also treatable.
Yet, if you live in the city, you are more likely to access help than if you live in a rural area of NSW.
Welcome to ‘Let’s Talk’.
The ‘Let’s Talk’ podcast series is produced by journalist Kia Handley and is all about mental health issues in rural and regional Australia.
In this series we’ll explore some of the big issues and incredible initiatives saving peoples’ lives.
Hear from people who have battled with their mental health, who have been through tragedy and have come out of the other side and also from some of the people who have helped them on their journey.
A HUGE thank you to journalist Kia Handley for her support and expertise in pulling these together. We would also like to thank all the contributors who had the courage to share their story, some of which are painful as well as inspiring.
We hope these podcasts inspire you and we encourage you to strike up a conversation about mental health with your colleagues, friends and family. We also encourage you to share these links.
