Know Yourself - Episode 76 - An interview with Emma from ECBC

Good evening lovely people! If you want a real guide on navigating self-care, mindfulness, and figuring out who you are then look no further! I interviewed Emma who founded not for profit ECBC Manchester for Episode 76 🐝 Emma was such a great person to interview because she had so many useful things to say, has a lovely personality, and is so bright and positive about life. . Emma started ECBC out in a remarkable way, finding a real ambition to tackle loneliness and isolation and a need to get out of the house and talk to people in person about mental health Emma started using Meet Up to find others that had experienced problems with their mental health. 🧠 . Emma talks quite candidly about her first meet up and how much it surprised her about how many people turned up! There was no pressure for people to open up if they didn’t want to, even listening can help, which I am big believer in too. ECBC also organises other events such as walk and talks where people can get out of the house to walk around the park and other areas and be around people that have experience in mental health issues which can lead to quite therapeutic conversations in a relaxed, safe, and comfortable environment. . I really admire Emma’s get up and go attitude to life, and it’s not surprising that the team has grown at ECBC and the events are becoming more and more popular as people find a safe haven to talk about a difficult topic. It’s a special project and have no doubt that this will lead onto help so many people locally on Manchester and nationally too. .

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and big thank you to Emma too
