Welcome to Proper Mental episode 17!
My guest this time around is Mick Coyle!

Mental Health Monday is a weekly radio show and podcast and each week Mick explores a different aspect of mental health and well-being with special guests sharing their lived experiences, where to seek help and how to navigate your way through difficult times in your life.
Mick’s show very recently reached the landmark of 200 episodes which gives him an incredible insight in to mental health from a several different perspectives and he is considered a UK Leader in Mental Health journalism and programming.
In 2018 and 2019, Mental Health Monday was the winner of the Mind Media Award Radio Program of the year and Mick was shortlisted for the Mind Media Award Journalist of the year in both 2017 and 2019.
Mick has spent so much time in the mental health space and his knowledge and passion about the topic really come out during our chat! He has spoken to so many different people about their lived experiences and it gives him an incredible insight. He is also a really compassionate human being and some of his ideas around changing our approach towards mental health are really important and could make a real difference.
We talk about the impact of modern society on mental health and the importance of teaching kids about their mental health. We also cover self-awareness, being kind and then being kinder and we chat about some of the insights that Mick has gained from 200 episodes of Mental Health Monday.
It's another great conversation and I hope you get as much out of it as I did!
