The issue of mental health has come to the fore over the last number of years and in the band scene we have felt the effects of this in a number of ways and in the last two years, Light of Foot was developed by members of the band scene to provide a source of help and support for members of the band scene who may need to talk about their mental health.

That service has been of immense benefit to quite a number of individuals over the past couple of years and the support provided by Light of Foot was enhanced through training delivered by our guest on this episode, Samantha Evans. 

Samantha is the CEO of Emerge Counselling Services based in Lisburn - on the episode she shares about how she ended becoming a counsellor and her motivation behind setting up Emerge as a service.

She also talks about why its important to look after our mental health, how we can look after it and where we can get help when we need it.

It was a real pleasure to have Samantha on the podcast to share about this very important issue.
