In this episode of the Hidden Currents podcast, host Paraic Mac Donnchadha speaks with Matty Caine, founder and CEO of First Person Project CIC, about building trust-driven, people-powered mental health services in Liverpool. Matty shares how his socially progressive mental health model empowers service users to become part of the solution, breaking down traditional barriers to access while fostering long-term relationships and community connection. The conversation explores leadership, authenticity, and the challenges of innovating within institutional systems while staying true to a values-led vision.
