It was my great privilege to chat to four members of the Young People's Forum for this episode, all of whom wanted to talk about how nature can help young people's mental health. From four very different perspectives, we hear about how nature has helped them with their own mental health challenges, and how important they think it is for young people in general to have access to nature. It's a moving and eye-opening episode, and I am so grateful to Kaitlyn, Anidunnu, Charlie and Harvey for their openness and honesty in sharing their stories.
This episode features some discussion about suicide and a wide range of mental health issues.
