chat chit
We exist to show that you can have normal conversations about mental health , where we understand how people have come through their experiences and learnt how to manage their mental health. We go off on many a tangent but the purpose is to focus on the things that might help you or where you might be able to relate with someone's experiences. We hope to normalise talking about your mental health whether you are having a good day or a bad day or on a day where you might not be sure how you feel.
Chat chit and the website Yormind exist to to try help young people in York and beyond to manage their mental health and direct them towards the support and services that would be best for them. Along the way there is a lot of chatting chit about all topics.
Chat chit is produced and edited by York Mind but the views and opinions expressed in the episode or of those being interviewed and the interviewer.
Trigger warning- Mental health and certain topics are covered on the podcast may be triggering so be mindful of this when listening.

S1 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - Christmas tips, tricks, laughs, and support with Kelly and Fliss
Christmas isn't always the easiest time for a lot of people and I include myself when I write this, so in this episode we have Kelly and Fliss from the CAMHS eating disorders team. Christmas sometimes is even harder for those who might struggle with their eating so in this episode we explore the things you can do to both manage at this time of year generally as well as with eating. We chat festive tradition, ndubz and stepping into Christmas, as well as getting a surprise visit from someone special at the end of the episode....
