'QCASTs podcast series is designed to bring information to life for communities on issues that really matter to them. Each week we feature powerful accounts of the lived experience of dealing with daily challenges ranging from substance use, mental health, and suicide as well as the very real impact the cost-of-living crisis is having in our schools. The series also explores the potential of key policy initiatives such as Community wealth building to address the needs of our most deprived communities and stimulate physical, economic, and social regeneration.

Join our podcast host and QCAP director Prof Kathy Higgins each week as she has a conversation with interesting members from across communities. Kathy is a professor of social science and health at Queens and an experienced research leader.

If you are interested in QCAP's work (Queens Communities & Place) to implement positive changes to our communities across Northern Ireland then this is the podcast for you.
