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.

S3 E13, Roxanne, Life after dad and regulating through modern family
Well o well, here we are again! I know we go off topic on chat chit but it got a little bit silly in this episode, where we had to genuinely chop out about half an hours worth of traveling chat about Korea. Let us know if you want to hear this absolute shenanigans.
Anyways, this podcast features the lovely Roxanne and all about her and her story. From understanding the addiction of a family member to grief and loss, we get an insight on how Roxanne manages with her mental health and the passing of her dad. She has such a matter of fact and positive outlook on how we deal with grief and it was a breath of fresh air to hear her way of living even through some of the saddest of times
She has set up @LifeafterDad to help other young people learn and find hope in what she went through especially when conversations about death are awkward and tricky. Amongst her story we talk modern family, Pilates at university amongst other drivel.
Enjoy.
