Join Callum & Craig as they discuss the ins and outs of social media and the impact it has on mental health in today's society. In this episode, they are joined by their guest Fran Ellis, a mental health activist, avid traveller and horror movie enthusiast as they try to figure out the answer to 'Is Social media a tool for good or evil?' This episode covers all things from what is social media, how it can be used, to the pressure faced by a generation who have grown up with the possibility to put their lives online; including the potential effects that having a life online can have on one's mental health, and much more. Thoughts and feedback, as ever are very much welcomed.
