Introducing Mental Wellth
Since Humans of Purpose wrapped up in September I've been working on the Mental Wellth podcast series, in partnership with Cooper Investors. There series takes a look at our mental health system and speaking with a myriad of experts on the state of play, systems challenges and how we can change things for the better.
I think this is one of our finest episodes where we talk to amazing social entrepreneurs who live with mental illness and are doing truly incredible things. Learning more about our system is critical right now given the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System has just tabled its final report last week, with 65 recommendations that will totally revamp our broken system.
If you like what you hear check out our previous 6 episodes and we have at least 3 more to follow. Just search Mental Wellth in any decent podcast player or subscribe via Spotify.

- Nick Pearce, CEO of HoMiE
- Tenille Gilbert, Managing Director of Society Melbourne
- Mitch Wallis, Founder & CEO of Heart on My Sleeve
