CW: Topics that some listeners may find upsetting. Editors note: We had an issue with Sam’s mic, but this is an important conversation. Please listen.
In this episode the lads chatted to Alex Bunting, Group Director of Care & Support (Mental Health & Addiction Services) at Inspire. Alex talked about his passion for helping people with addiction and mental health issues and the need to address the long-term impact of the Troubles on divided communities in Belfast. We chatted about the “psychological terror” and feeling of being unsafe, and what people lived with during the conflict and Alex’s experience of his own father being seriously injured in an IRA bomb.
