Rachael is the founder of mental health charity Think Twice and author of the book Learning To Breathe. We have been friends for a number of years and so I asked her to come on the show with me. We talk about the impact of lockdown on the mental health of young people and adults alike.
We talk a little about eating disorders, the effects of trauma and how to support our young people. The online platforms Rachael mentions are here:
