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 Ep14 - Sam, autism overstimulation and conquering Norway
Where we have been and how far we have come is so important when we are trying to understand our mental health. Acknowledging the hard times is so important, because it gives us chance to see the steps we have taken to try get better and feel happier.
That's one thing that Sam does in this podcast. Would he ever have thought he was able to go to Norway when he struggling with his mental health? Probably not, but he did manage to and he talks us through how he did it. A kind and soul who just wants to do right by others, Sam talks us through his mental health and its relationship to his Autism, amongst other things like the barriers he has faced and how he understands ways to deal with them.
We talk football, school, masking alongside hearing how he made Chris McCausland laugh. It was a pleasure to have him on a talk about his experiences.
Enjoy.
