The NottAlone podcast features real-life stories, practical advice and expert insights on mental health. The first series focuses children and young people including those with special needs. There’s an episode all about neurodiversity and mental health coming out next month, too.

It's perfect for parents and carers, or anyone who wants to better understand and support young people with their mental health.

The podcast is now available on all major streaming platforms, or you can visit the website to listen to all episodes and find out more. 

The project offers one-year internship programmes for people with disabilities aged 18 and over, based at Queen’s Medical Centre, City Hospital and Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust.
