I've just discovered this podcast and I'm really enjoying the conversations with people working in various aspects of the Mental Health field. It's really helpful to me as someone who wants to work in mental health and is about to start studying Psychology. I also like that it's not completely serious and there are laughs and jokes along with factual information!
Great
