Wed 8 Oct 2025. Mental Health Awareness: Policy, Community & Spirituality.

Dive into three encouraging discussions about spirituality and mental health, faithfulness and pain, as Andrew Urquhart marks Mental Health Awareness Week with a special episode looking at how we're doing as a nation, in community and in our homes.  Minister of Health Matt Doocey says we have made progress in terms of raising awareness & reducing the stigma associated with mental health conditions, but is there more to be done in workplace and public health policy, as well as encouraging agency in individuals' mental well-being; Rev. Dr Maja Whitaker challenges churches to better support Christians who are facing mental health diagnoses, instead of judging or dismissing the issue; And leadership coach John Peachey shares the importance of journeying with friends & family who are struggling with invisible pain and unspoken trauma.
