chat chit
We exist to show that we can have normal conversations with people with lived experience of mental health issues, where we show how people have come through their experiences and learnt how to manage their mental health. The purpose is focusing on the positive things that might help you or you might be able to relate with some 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.

S2 E11 - Andy and Chris go Climbing with the black dog
We switch this episode up a bit and start by focusing on the things that help Andy and Chris. In all honesty, we go off topic and talk about mountaineering and climbing alot, but what we do get round to is the way that both these activities can be great for your mental health and can act as a great metaphor for mental health.
We hear how climbing acts as a stress release and a preventative measure for Chris to manage his mental health, and we hear how Andy co founded an organization called Black Dog Outdoors to help facilitate people to get out in to nature and do something to aid their mental health. These guys are just genuinely lovely blokes and it was great to go to the core of the podcast and chat chit about mental health and what helps us.
