Guest presenter Louise White gets to the heart of the stories making the news and asks how we can overcome the stigma of mental ill health.

PHONE IN: MENTAL ILL HEALTH
Would you wear a badge identifying yourself as having mental ill health? We look at an online campaign, inspired by death of actress Carrie Fisher that's encouraging people with mental health issues to out themselves in public by wearing a badge. Louise asks: How do we end the stigma of mental ill-health?

Also Looking at:

NICHE DATING

DENTAL AID
Louise hears from a dentist who spends his own time and money travelling abroad to help orphans with their dental care. He's just returned from treating children in Palestine who have never had access to a dentist before

LEARNING ENGLISH
How easy is it to learn English as an adult? An all-party group on Parliamentarians has recommended that Migrants should be expected to learn English before coming to the UK, or attend language classes when they arrive. We look at the experience of recent migrants learning English in Scotland.

ASK THE DOCTOR
