Fact: men live shorter, less healthy, and less happy lives than women. Serious subject! Yet humour can help. So, join award-winning comedian, John Ryan, as he talks male mental health and relationships.

Our host, Ruth Busby, talks to David R. Hamilton, a kindness scientist, columnist, speaker and author of eleven books, including one of his latest bestsellers, ‘The Five Side Effects of Kindness’ and Dr Sam Akbar, a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist, as well as an author of recently published book ‘Stressilient: Beat Stress and Build Resilience’.

When we help others, the benefits are endless. This session focuses on community. Together we have so much more power to create positive change. We’ll feel happier, healthier, and better able to face life’s challenges.

A certain amount of stress can be helpful, but too much is harmful. That’s why Emma Dymond – who’s passionate about her team’s wellbeing – has launched a trial of home blood tests that check levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Hear all about the trial here.

Neil Greenberg explains what PTSD is and how rail organisations can minimise its risk. He also interviews Michael Setchell, a former train driver, who experienced traumatic events at work, resulting in a PTSD diagnosis.

Relate, the leading charity for relationship support, explores the impact of the pandemic, and working in the rail industry, on relationships. Get practical advice for happier and healthier relationships in all areas of life.
