    S3E3 - Navigating the grief and loss of separation for care-experienced children and young people, with Ciara McClelland
    Sep 5 2024
    How might the impact of detachment from their mother and birth family affect care-experienced children and young people's behaviour and relationships? And how can we support care-experienced children and young people to process their feelings?

    We welcome back to the podcast Ciara McLelland, who specialises in working with children and families impacted by adverse childhood experiences, to find out more about the impact of grief and loss on the brain and body. Ciara is a trainer from Trauma Informed Consultancy Services.

    For this episode, we are partnering with The Creative Life Story Work Podcast who are posting it on their feed too! Head over to their show to hear more about how art, artists and creative activity can be used to help care-experienced children make sense of their past and build a brighter future.

  • S3E2 - Mindfulness, with Dr Afrosa Ahmed

    S3E2 - Mindfulness, with Dr Afrosa Ahmed
    Aug 2 2024
    What is mindfulness? What's the difference between mindfulness and doing things 'mindfully'? What does evidence about the positive impact of mindfulness tell us about the origins of our mental health struggles?

    We'll be discussing these topics with Dr Afrosa Ahmed, who has just written a book: "Mindful Healing, 5 Simple Steps to Transform your Life" published by Michael O'Mara Books.

    A practising GP in the NHS for over 20 years, as well as a Harley Street-based mindfulness coach, Afrosa launched life-coaching programme MindfulDoc in 2020.

    In her book, Afrosa shares her knowledge of how we can incorporate the ancient practice of mindfulness into our everyday lives. Mindfulness is now endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the NHS.

    "Mindful Healing, 5 Simple Steps to Transform your Life" is published by Michael O'Mara Books.

    S3E1 - The film & TV industry and mental health, with Rupert Jones-Lee
    Jul 5 2024
    In 2022, a survey revealed that only 11% of people working in the UK’s film and TV sectors considered the industry to be a mentally healthy place to work.

    As the latest iteration of the “Looking Glass” survey is launched, we speak with Rupert Jones-Lee, Head of Research and Impact at the Film & TV Charity, about the mental health challenges faced by those in the film and TV industry.

    We talk about the reasons behind these mental health struggles, the measures currently being implemented to address them, and the further actions needed to create a healthier work environment.
