I had the honor and pleasure of being invited on my favorite podcast, The Sprue Cutters Union. Great conversation and I throughly enjoyed myself. Warning: the second half was about mental health. (I also talked about my own mental health over here on this post)
Here’s the official description from the Sprue Cutters team:
Episode 50: “Naked Nightime Tractoring” featuring Jake McKee and Matt McDougall, is available now (yup, 2 days early)
In this episode, Will, Chris and Tracy are joined by Matt McDougall and Jake McKee to discuss modelling, competition, and a lot more. They also talk about mental health and s**cide.
If you are struggling at the moment you can reach out for help. In the UK there is a list of regional mental health crisis numbers at NHS.uk, or you can call the Samaritans 24 hours a day on 116 123, you can text the word “SHOUT” to the Shout Crisis line on 85258, or if you are under 19, text “YM” to the same number. Alternatively you can call Childline on 08001111. The call will not appear on your bill.
In the US you can call 988 for the Mental Health Emergency Hotline, or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: on 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to reach a 24-hour crisis center, or text REASON to 741741 at the Crisis Text Line.
