This podcast was formed in 2020 through a UNSW PsychSoc initiative called 'Project Mind' where students aim to improve the mental health of fellow UNSW students. This initiative ran again this year, and the winners of the 2021 Project Mind, Ciaran and Victor are our special guests for this episode. They share their journey with Jaanvi and I-Hsuan, as they talk about how they met, how they came up with their winning idea, and what's more to come!
