In alignment with R U OK Day and World Suicide Prevention Day, and in collaboration with Smash the Silence founder, Isaac Percy, for this week's episode 3 of MOOD Podcast we bring you a discussion on music and mental health.   

Music is an outlet for many for us, helping us process our emotions, connect with one another and get us through the tough times.  In more recent times through Covid 19, we've had to adapt and change the way we connect. In this episode Issac shares with us how he's had to completely change the way he runs his program, still allowing people to share, connect and have important conversations adapting to an online platform.  

A big thank you to Isaac for giving us this opportunity to talk with him and giving us some insight to this great project he has created. We are so grateful to have him share his own personal mental health journey with us and are so proud of the work he is doing!  

We encourage you all to "smash the silence" yourselves this R U OK day and continue having these important conversations with those around you.   

Let us know in the comments below, are there are any particular artists/songs/albums that have helped you through a tough time?
