With Mental Health services in crisis and the numbers of people seeking support rising by the day , peer support has become a regular community response to a lack of commissioned mental health provision. In this podcast I speak with Mike , founder of Talk about it mate , about the importance of providing services that are responsive to mens needs , that address the stigma of opening up and sharing struggles and the need for communities to be better resourced and equipped to continue to provide valuable support to everyone before crisis hits. We discuss the benefits of talk therapy, some of the barriers to accessing therapeutic support and we find out what the future has in store for Talk about it mate.
