Mental Health Awareness

BBC One - Countryfile, Mental Health Awareness

The team explores initiatives helping people to improve their mental wellbeing.

Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, the team explores initiatives in different parts of the UK that are helping people to improve their mental wellbeing.

Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, Charlotte Smith travels to the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall to visit Chaos Farm, which stands for Community Helping All of Society. Charlotte meets the farm’s founder, Babs Rounsevell MBE, to see how their support programmes, based on agriculture and the great outdoors, help people with both their mental and physical wellbeing.

Elsewhere on the farm, Charlotte meets equine therapist Penny Tempest to discover how the gentle presence of horses can help with mental health, and then joins the farm’s ‘Men Outside’ group, which offers peer-to-peer support for men struggling with their mental wellbeing.  

Charlotte also travels to the north Cornwall coast to see how surfing can help young people cope with stress and anxiety. Marathon runner and champion for diversity and inclusion in the countryside, Haroon Mota, is hiking in Snowdonia, exploring why the great outdoors is so important to him and his mental wellbeing.

Datshiane Navanayagam investigates the impact that debt is having on our farmers, and Adam looks at how women in agriculture are facing up to the mental health challenges of rural isolation.
