Ep 292: Where's Your Head meets Baton of Hope in Westminster

May 29, 2023, 05:00 AM

Mick Coyle is in Parliament this week at a Baton of Hope event at the prestigious Terrace Pavillion in Westminster.

Mick was representing the Bauer Media Where's Your Head At? campaign - which secured more than 200,000 signatures on a petition calling for mental health first aiders to be available to in all UK workplaces.

The event was hosted by Dean Russell MP, and was highlighting the Baton of Hope's campaign and UK Tour coming to 12 cities across the UK. It was set up by Mike McCarthy after he lost his son to suicide.

We hear Mike's story on this week's show and we'll hear from Dean Russell MP about the work he's doing to bring political change to the mental health issues we highlight on a regular basis.

Dr Alex George and Campaigner Chris Murray also drop by to talk about why these sorts of conversations - and action is so vitally needed.
