S3 E1 - Luke, chalking helps, barbecues on the government and being humbled by nature

We are back and kicking off season 3 in the middle of Mental health awareness week with a podcast where we maybe go off topic and talk a bit too much about climbing and getting into mother nature...In this episode of Chat chit Chris talks to Luke who talks about the loss of his mother the other things that began to make his mental health spiral. Luke tried a number of things to help his mental health but ultimately a period of time during covid allowed him to change his perspective on his life and change the trajectory he was on. He is a very impressive guy and has started a mental health social called "Chalking helps" to allow a space where like minded people can come together to climb and connect. Below is a run down of different parts of the podcast but what we learn is that movement and adventure in the big outdoors are two crucial things that help him manage his mental health. Enjoy Minutes1-5 Check in 5-11 The background and university stresses13- 21 Grief and understanding loss21- 27:30  The positives out of covidTEA27:30- 33 Climbing and chalking helps 33:15 - 42 The things that helps us (nature, camping, walking, waffling)42:15 - 45 The metaphor of mental health 45 - Final Question -What would you tell yourself now?Give us a review or send us a text about what you would like to see in the podcastPlease if you like or have benefitted from the episode then give us a share,  review, follow us or rate us on the platform you are listening on.For anymore information, support and services on mental health, visit Yormind which can help you to support someone else or give you a little bit more understanding of your own mental health as well.
