At Black Dog Institute we have a range of podcasts about subjects related to mental health. The Expert Insights podcast is an edited recording of a regular meeting we have at the Institute for health professionals and others with a panel of experts discussing a particular theme. Topics include Lifestyle Interventions in Mental Health, Bipolar, Borderline or Both?, Insomnia and Is It Grief or Depression? Discussion is lively and includes input from a variety of experts including a consumer.
There will be more Expert Insights Podcasts as the year goes on, as well as a new series of short podcasts from eMHPrac called Ask the Experts, where we will discuss issues specifically related to eMH.
The expert Insights Podcasts can be found here. Watch this space for more about the Ask the Experts podcasts when they go online
