Introduction Video
An introduction from Chris about what to expect from Surviving in the Wild, including what sort of mental health information you may gain from the channel, but also why it is so important to get reliable mental health information out there for young people!
Surviving in the Wild with Stigma
Chris chats with Liam and Ben, co-creation and engagement professionals, all about stigma around mental health and reaching out for support. They discuss stigma through the lens of their lived experience as well as their professional experience to explore why we feel it; how it feels and why people feel it differently.
Surviving in the Wild with Anxiety
Chris chats to Alex, a Senior Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner, all about anxiety: why we get it; where does it come from; how to manage it and everything in between.
Surviving in the Wild in School
Chris is joined by Kirsty and Emily from the Wellbeing in Mind Team who support young people who have mental health struggles and help them manage in a school environment. They discuss why school can be so hard and what is the impact when you are already struggling with your mental health as well as strategies and tips to help you in school.
Surviving in the Wild with Neurodiversity
Chris sits down with Ben, who works on the ADHD pathway in CAMHS, and Becky, who works on the Autism pathway in CAMHS, as they discuss what neurodiversity is; how it overlaps with mental health; executive functioning and masking; and much more.
Surviving in the Wild with Depression or Grief
Chris chats to Charlotte from St Leonard’s Hospice all about depression and grief, including the differences; where it comes from; the signs and symptoms; and how to manage it. Chris and Charlotte also importantly highlight that grief is NOT a mental health condition.
