Pieces of the Mind.
Shining light on mental health in the bush and hearing stories from different people in the rural area. “Pieces of the mind” is here to bring stories to life and is created so stories don’t go untold. I want this podcast to bring a positive community together one I feel the bush will most definitely benefit from.
