Our planet, our emotional health

World Health Day was last week. The theme for 2022 is Our World, Our Health. We are all part of the environment, nature is key to our emotional wellbeing. In this episode Chantal and Matthew explore why looking after our planet is key to our emotional health. They look at how climate change and environmental concerns are fueling our mental health concerns and share what small things can be done to make ourselves feel better about this apparently huge and overwhelming problem that faces humanity.
