Mental Health Awareness (35x20)

Data de estreia: Mai 14, 2023

Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, Charlotte Smith travels to the Roseland peninsula in Cornwall to visit Chaos Farm, which stands for Community Helping All of Society. Charlotte meets the care farm’s founder, Babs Rounsevell MBE, to see how their support programmes, based on agriculture and the great outdoors, help people with both their mental and physical wellbeing. Elsewhere on the farm, Charlotte meets equine therapist Penny Tempest to discover how the gentle presence of horses can help with mental health, and then joins the farm’s ‘Men Outside’ group, which offers peer-to-peer support for men struggling with their mental wellbeing. Charlotte also travels to the north Cornwall coast to see how surfing can help young people cope with stress and anxiety. Marathon runner and champion for diversity and inclusion in the countryside, Haroon Mota, is hiking in Snowdonia, exploring why the great outdoors is so important to him and his mental wellbeing.
