The Mental Health Unit Failed My Dad...
from The Paul McGregor Podcast
Here's an interview I gave back in November for Maytree. I'm hoping this interview offers some value to you in two ways, through my honesty in the interview but also as an introduction into the amazing work that the Maytree do.Since giving this interview I reflected on how my Dad would've probably benefited from something like the Maytree, rather than being sectioned and spending time in a mental health unit on the NHS. If I'm honest, and this isn't true for every unit, the environment within these units really aren't beneficial for people struggling with mental health.In this interview we talk a little bit about the work they do at the Maytree, I discuss how my Dad being treated differently could have created a different outcome and also what he meant to me.Hopefully it helps!To find out more about the Maytree, visit their website: http://www.maytree.org.uk/Thanks to you for listening, supporting, and being a part of changing the voice around mental health.Hopefully you get some value from this episode, and as always don't forget to subscribe!A rating and a review always helps a Podcast get more exposure too, so if you have a minute spare, I'd truly appreciate it!Together, let's stand up to the stigma.Grab yourself a copy of my book here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Up-Down-Standing-Inspirational/dp/1912478463Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/pmcgregorcomConnect with me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pmcgregorcomSee how I can help you here: http://www.pmcgregor.com Hosted on Acast.
