Let's Talk podcast
When we are struggling with our mental health, we will often think that no one else is feeling the same thing. It can be a huge relief to discover that you are not alone in these struggles.
The Let's Talk podcast is a series bringing together different members of the University community to have honest and thought-provoking conversations about mental health. Each episode is hosted by our Chaplain, Harriet Harris, and features discussions between students and staff talking about a range of mental health topics.
These are serious topics with lots of space to grow understanding - and with lots of laughter along the way too!

Let's Talk: Life in lockdown
The Let’s Talk podcast is launching a special ‘Life in Lockdown’ series to look into the diverse changes and challenges our University community is experiencing as a result of Covid-19.
Harriet Harris leads this series and is joined by students and staff to talk about how they are learning to acclimatise to the new way of living, working and studying away from the University.
