UWE Bristol’s brand new podcast series to remove the stigma around mental health. 

We are encouraging everyone to start a conversation about mental health as invited guests from across the University share their positive stories, and explore ideas to develop positive wellbeing in individuals and communities and raise awareness of mental health issues. 

This podcast follows our successful #LetsTalkNow campaign and is part of UWE Bristol’s Mental Wealth Lab initiative.

Let's Talk Now

Join us for the latest exciting event in our Bristol Distinguished Address Series, recorded live at the Watershed in Bristol. A conversation with Camilla Rigby and Rachel Mostyn, Co-Founders and CEOs of Bristol-based business the Women's Work Lab, as they explain how and why they are doing well by doing good.

Since launching, Women’s Work Lab has supported over 300 women – mostly single parents, many with experience of domestic abuse, children with SEN and their own health conditions – on their journey into work. Camilla and Rachel's shared vision is to become the UK’s biggest employability support for unemployed Mums.
