S1 E11: Simon Costello talks Mental Health & self refection.

Mental Health Awareness Week takes place from 18-24 May 2020. The theme is kindness. Welcome to a special addition of Not Just crew during this Mental Health week. It was during the last days of this May’s Mental Health Awareness week 2020. I was chatting to my co host on Not Just Crew Simon Costello. He told me of the struggles he has with these issues a few years ago. Myself and fellow presenter Alex Chisnall, wanted to know if he would present a special on this issue that affects so many crew, and to be honest I think it always has, but it’s only now that many of us feel we can talk about Mental health, and even now there may be some reluctance. Quite understandably Simon didn't want a live addition, but he has kindly put he thoughts on this recorded podcast. Simon recording is a honest reflection on his mindset after breaking up with his first wife and the longing to see his daughter..... This alone can put enormous stress on anyone. Have a listen, and remember that help is out there. Most airlines now recognise this is an important issue, and have dedicated departments and crew to help. Here at Not Just Crew, we’re not experts and are not qualified on this subject, and don’t claim to be, but we wanted to hear Simons own words and his story. I for one have been quite humbled by his words.
