On this weeks episode instead of a cheesy Christmas special or a look back at the year I am joined by my good friend Bernard Geraghty to talk about a subject that needs to be talked about. Our mental health is something that many take for granted or even never consider and it is something that we all should take more care of, especially at Christmas when we are consumed by being supposed to be happy and joyous, but in reality for many it is not a happy or joyous time. We discuss just how important it is to check in with ourselves and others , how others perception of us can sometimes be totally wrong and how as men we are always supposed to be a man and be ok ! Join us for a thought provoking , honest and raw conversation about a topic that affects all of us daily. If you have been affected by any of the topics on todays podcast please reach out , we are an ear , a sounding board and above all else human , just like you Some helpful resources can also be found here https://www.mentalhealthireland.ie/resources/
