Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

In this week’s episode Niall is going solo, talking about a new challenge he’s undertaking that’s very close to his heart.

Niall’s whole work is based around a passion to push for paradigm-shifting change in our mental health systems. This July he’s raising funds for his charity A Lust For Life, and the schools programme they’ve created to teach children to build resilience, increase wellbeing & enhance emotional literacy. Niall and some friends will be taking on the gruelling challenge of rowing the River Shannon in Ireland.

Niall explains the journey that led him to his research and advocacy work, why teaching kids about their emotions at an early age is so important and the systematic change we need to better support people through their mental health struggles.
