Episode notes

On this month’s show, with World Mental Health Day just around the corner we welcome Love Island’s Olivia Bowen who believes self-care supports our mental health and is encouraging women to finally take time for themselves.
Professor Green tells us how people are struggling with their mental health because of the continuing cost-of-living crisis with younger people particularly affected.

We find out how continuing to work in later life can be beneficial to our mental health and how older people experience age discrimination at work with Mario Ambosi from Anchor.

Plus Jane Nelson, CEO of Oddfellows tells us how friendships bring joy and support, prevent loneliness and reduce stress, and how Autumn is a great time to start filling any friendship gaps as its branches across the UK are hosting 100s of events and activities for people to get involved in and meet new people.
