Welcome to Episode 11 of Mental Health Matters on Phoenix FM!
Scott and Bob
Presented by Bob Simpson & Scott W
In this episode, there is an extended two-part piece on the Student Nurse Buddy Scheme, set up by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) & SEPT. Scott speaks to Service Users (aka ‘Buddies’ for this project), Student Nurses & staff involved in this innovative project.
We also discuss a bit more about what earmarks the Buddy Scheme as a different project in terms of Service User Involvement. Also, an extended ‘Mental Health News’ section looks at Mental Health Awareness Week (16-22 May) and local Forum meetings taking place in May & June which service users & carers are encouraged to attend.
Plus, we also have our regular features: Songs of The Month and Poetry Corner returns with a powerful & emotive poem from Mental Health activist Melanie Jay (Twitter: @MelJayMH )
Songs of the Month:
Song 1: The Voice Within by Christina Aguilera
Song 2: One Better World by ABC
Song 3: Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay
Song 4: Feeling Good by Nina Simone
