Sun awareness and prioritising relationships for good mental health.

BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Sun awareness and prioritising relationships for good mental health.

A look at the dangers of sun exposure and how relationships can affect mental health.

Gillian Russell talks to Leigh Smith of Melanoma Action and Support Scotland about sun damage awareness, plus Chris O'Sullivan explains how relationships can affect mental health.

At last the sun is out here in Scotland and lots of us love to catch some rays but at what cost? When we go outside for a run, cycle, walk or game of football, are we actually bothering to put sun cream on? As a new study finds that almost two thirds of young adults are shunning sun cream and putting themselves at risk of skin cancer, Gillian Russell speaks to Leigh Smith from Melanoma Action & Support Scotland about why we are not taking potential sun damage seriously enough. 

Blogger and nutritionist Jessica Sepel talks about how prioritising rest and managing stress are the best ways to restore our health.

This year's Mental Health Awareness Week is focusing on the importance of good relationships for our mental health. Chris O'Sullivan from the Mental Health Foundation advises on how we can best look after our mental health and explains the impact that positive and negative relationships can have on our health.
