Well, that’s a wrap. For now, at least. The final episode of our inaugural podcast series – Developing Mental Wealth – is out today. Over the last six weeks, we’ve uncovered the fascinating ways that communities are dealing with mental health issues in parts of the world where circumstances are often the most challenging.
Hosted by wellbeing expert Dr Radha Modgil and journalist Seyi Rhodes, the podcast travelled from Guatemala to Nigeria, Peru to Zimbabwe and beyond, to meet those on the ground who are pioneering solutions to support people’s wellbeing. The series unearthed some powerful projects that are low-cost, community-based and tailored to local cultures.
It’s been heartening to work on and wonderful to receive so much positive feedback on the series. Here are some of the things we learned while making it.
