What can you do?
My intention with this project is to gently encourage you to act, in whichever way you feel suits you best. Find some ideas below.
Head out.
1
Stop and think: you probably know someone who might be struggling, and could do with a chat. A friend, a family member, a colleague, a neighbour.
Reach out to that person, and suggest heading out together. Perhaps on an epic overnight cycling trip through hills and valleys, or a short wander through your local park. Either way, it’s about connecting in nature.

Donate.
Donating to a non-profit that tackles mental health issues is a great way to support people outside of your circle of family and friends. I’d recommend two organisations in particular:
The Happier Lives Institute: A charity that searches for the best ways globally to improve human happiness. This includes funding bold ideas, often in low-income countries, that make the biggest difference with your donations.
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM): A charity that provides support for anyone affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts.
Recommend.

If the podcast encouraged you to think and act differently, there’s a chance it may have a similar impact on others.
The lifeblood of projects like these are word-of-mouth recommendations. I’d appreciate you sharing the podcast or website with those around you.
