Mental Health Awareness with The Drivetime Dream Team

Mental health can be a difficult subject to talk about and for some of us, it can be hard to know where to begin. However, I wanted to ensure that we did something on Drive to get the conversation started. I enlisted the help of some of my friends, guests, regular listeners and fellow presenters by asking them to share something they would recommend that we try this week to improve our mental health. What followed was an overwhelming surge of kindness, wise words, great tips and some really wonderful messages of support from some truly inspiring and lovely people.

The messages were shared throughout the week on Phoenix FM Drive but with the help of our work experience student, Tom Morgan, we have collated all of the clips from all of the Drivetime Dream Team into a 2 hour show that I couldn’t be more proud of.

Hopefully, this show is ideal listening for anyone curious about mental health, all those struggling or for anyone who could use a little support. Below I have listed links to some websites and phone numbers that may be of use if you feel you or somebody you know might need them. I also encourage you to connect with the artists and people featured in this show – all of them are friends of Phoenix FM and were invited to take part because they regularly motivate, support and inspire me!
