Mental Health and The Modern Student Experience with Louise Lyons-Appiah

I first met Louise when she reached out for a meeting and laid bare her story.  At just 20 years old, she co-founded BreatheUni with her brother, an initiative that creates non-judgemental spaces for students looking to learn about mental health, equality, diversity and inclusion. Sessions were held with peers who are Mental Health First Aiders who can signpost relevant information and resources. In this episode, we discuss: Louise's battle with imposter syndrome, racial trauma, and gender inequality The student experience today The importance of language and support systems The power of storytelling.  Note: Our conversation contains references to topics that may be jarring or emotionally challenging for some listeners.
