A new radio show and podcast on OAR FM is dedicated to building resilience, confidence and hope among those in the community who are doing it tough.
Able Minds is a charitable trust and mental health organisation that delivers services to those adversely affected by mental distress and/or addiction challenges, including the support of their whānau.
The first episode of Able at the Table introduced the on-air team and addressed the scope of the Dunedin organisation’s work.
Able Minds support workers provide tools and strategies to improve wellbeing in young people, adults and their wider networks to encourage a better life experience at home, at work and in the community.
Co-host and Activity Centre Coordinator Sebrina Sayer said that the podcast team intended to cover topics that matter most to listeners.
“We hope to offer diverse ways of addressing the challenges that we all face at some point.
“Some episodes may be exposing and vulnerable, because real life asks that from us at all times, but we hope to approach them with utmost care and sensitivity.”
Able at the Table is broadcast on 105.4FM and 1575AM fortnightly on Thursdays at 2pm.
