The pandemic severely disrupted health services and derailed progress towards ending HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. It also triggered an increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression, contributing to an already growing mental health crisis. 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness every year, and nearly half of all adults will experience it at some point in their lives.

In this episode, Gail and Loyiso dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of mental health when discussing the Global Goal to good health and well-being (Goal 3). They speak with Will Poulter and Alex Holmes about their anti-bullying campaign and what might be contributing to skyrocketing rates of anxiety in young people and men, and they are joined by Sutton King to learn about mental health issues in urban indigenous communities and how plant medicines or psychedelics can offer a potential solution, as long as we learn from past mistakes.

Guests:

Will Poulter, BAFTA award-winning actor and Anti-Bullying Ambassador for the Diana Award.

Alex Holmes, Founder of the Anti Bullying Ambassadors programme and Deputy CEO of The Diana Award.

Sutton King, Indigenous rights activist, co-founder and President of the Urban Indigenous Collective, and Program Manager of Engagement at the Indigenous Medicine Conservation Fund
