Flynn's Talk | Ep 15 - Mental health at the fore; COVID normal

Jack & Jeremy are joined by practicing psychologist Sandy Rea to talk about this "COVID normal" we are all experiencing and living through. How can we better understand the emotions we are feeling? Is it okay to take a break? Is there light at the end of the tunnel? 2020 has really pushed conversations about mental health to the fore, which will hopefully go a long way to reducing stigma and encouraging everyone to speak up when they are not okay. Sandy is a regular contributor to the Today Show on Channel 9 and printed media outlets. As always, if you or anyone you know is experiencing a crisis there is help available.

In 2009, Gavin Larkin chose to champion just one question to honour his father, who had died by suicide, to try and protect other families from the pain his endured. That question is: are you okay? Thursday September 10 is R U OK? Day and also World Suicide Prevention Day. Jack & Jeremy are joined by R U OK? Community Ambassador James Malachi to discuss the mission of the suicide prevention charity and to explain how you can start a meaningful conversation that could change a life.
