Although Surviving Minds Foundation is comparatively young in its lifespan, the organisation’s reach is expanding, bringing wellbeing to the forefront for many in the local area.

Director, Mick Cowes, joins councillor Phil Broadhead for episode 2 of our Bounced Back podcast series as he shares the healing power of nature that underpins their business, and how they’ve encouraged human connection against the backdrop of a pandemic.

This episode covers:

• Surviving Minds Foundation’s impact since offering their rejuvenating experiences


• The science behind the practice of ‘Shinrin yoku’, or ‘forest bathing’


• How a boost of funding has allowed the foundation to bring their services to greater numbers
