Welcome back to the Balls Deep Podcast!
In this first episode of the second season, I talk to Izzy De George (@izzydegeorge) who is the founder of the Positive Changes in Placement campaign (@positivechangesinplacement) - challenging universities to strengthen their policies and wellbeing services for placement students.
TWs: suicide, depression, anxiety and some strong language, kids
I wanted to ask Izzy about her experience pursuing this incredible cause in memory of her brother, Harrison, who died by suicide in December last year while working on a placement as part of his PGCE.
We also discussed counselling, working during the pandemic, living alone and some of the other positive movements which have been inspired by her brother.
