S.3 EP 2 - Mental Health Unbarred: The Podcast

    • Självhjälp

Hello and welcome back to The Unbarred Podcast!🎙

In this weeks episode, we begin with a conversation  about mental health. We look at the signs of declining mental health, different methods to improve your mental health and mental health specifically related to ex offenders.  This touches on the topic of stigma and negative public opinion related to ex - offenders. We take a look at the Ban the Box campaign and its role in challenging stigma as well as how you can deal with any stigma you face. One situation where you may face stigma is during interviews. Therefore our final segment touches on interview tips and disclosure of your conviction. S3 includes a new segment on personal stories of ex - offenders and this weeks story relates to an ex - offender who is now a counselor challenging mental health and stigma.
