We’re back! Welcome to another edition (Ep #10) of Mental Health Matters on Phoenix FM, the show about all things mental health…
Scott and Bob
Andrew Gordon
This month Bob spoke to the Chair of the Silverline Professor Patrick Geoghegan OBE about the project – a supportive helpline service for older people open 24/7.
The presenting team of Bob Simpson & Scott W were also joined by Local Authority Ambassador for Mental Health & MH survivor Andrew Gordon for our Discussion topic on Volunteering, and our Stress-buster about Avoiding Self-Harm plus a bonus discussion about older people after the Silverline interview.
We also have our regular “Songs Of The Month” picked by various contributors and a bonus piece reporting from a Mental Health Forum meeting in Basildon where Scott talks to MH campaigners Mark D & Wayne B about the meeting & is Service User Involvement improving?
Prof Patrick Geoghegan OBE (Chair, Silverline)

Song 1: I’ll Stand By You by the Pretenders
Song 2: Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself by Jess Glynne
