Description

Mental health is one part of our health as a whole, but can be much trickier to look after. You might be able to put a band-aid on a scraped knee, but what can you do when you feel anxious or overwhelmed? 😰 How can we recharge our mental batteries to look after ourselves? 🪫 And why is it important to have conversations like this? 🗣️

On this episode of What Do Scientists Do?, we’re joined by Clayton Murphy (he/him), a social worker, mental health advocate, and black belt in taekwondo to help answer these questions. 🥋

Want to keep learning or bring this episode into your classroom? A mental health wellness activity will be available on our website on September 23, 2025. 🧠
