In this podcast, our host Molly talks to young people Az and Ash, who are joined by CAMHS staff Sassie, Mack and Jay to reflect post-Pride month about what pride means to them. Listen in on the conversation as each person explores from their personal experience, their journey to PRIDE.
Gender dysphoria: a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity. (NHS)
Gender euphoria: comfort/joy that happens when gender expression is aligned with identity.
Rainbow capitalism: when companies commercialise and claim to support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community (especially during Pride) mainly for profit and improved brand image.

Episode 44 – Living with Dyspraxia

CAMHS Talk is hosted by the Luton and Bedfordshire Service User Participation Group in partnership with the Luton & Bedford Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team (CAMHS). This is one of the first podcast of its kind in the UK and we’re coming together to discuss, debate and challenge issues around child and adolescent mental health. This is a fabulous opportunity for you to come and listen to staff interviews, hear lively discussions between professionals, service users and their families and get first-hand information about what it’s like to come to CAMHS. We’ll also let you know about new service developments and give you a heads up on any events we’re running.
