We’ve launched a new season of our mental health podcast, Embracing the Mind.
Hosted by Embrace @ The Kids Research Institute Australia senior researcher Dr Alix Woolard, the podcast features interviews with researchers and people with lived experience across facets of mental health.
In the series’ second season, we talk to a refugee who fled Ukraine following the Russian invasion, a teenager who survived a serious car crash and now embodies growth through adversity, and we launch a special investigation into the trauma parents often go through in the birthing suite.
We also learn more about what goes on in the mind of an autistic child, what it’s like to receive a diagnosis of ADHD and how to cope with and overcome burnout.
“We are so privileged to be trusted with the personal stories of resilience and hope offered by people from all walks of life, and these are such important tales to tell,” Alix said.
Our first four episodes are now available here.
New episodes will be released weekly.
Embrace is supported by its principal partner, Rio Tinto.
If any episodes cause you distress, please reach out to a loved one or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
