'TeaTalk Conversations: A Unique Mental Health Podcast' aims to bring much needed conversations about mental health and neurodiversity to the front of society’s mind so they can be rightfully acknowledged and supported. Each week, listeners are introduced to a new conversation, often with a lived-experience guest, a mental health professional or a carer who deserve to have their voices heard where society has not provided them a platform to speak or allowed their perspectives to be supported. TeaTalk Conversations episodes are full of advice, rambles and meaningful personal experience all to prove to the world that mental health and neurodiversity doesn't need to be seen as so controversial.
