The NerdyBirds recognise this week is a great opportunity to talk about things that often get unsaid, and so we invited a special guest, Tom from iam1in4.com. 

1 in 4 relates to the proportion of people who experience mental health issues, and the platform is a community which supports people who want to share those stories. Tom tells us about his personal experiences, his motivation for starting the platform, and the evolution of the community.

The NerdyBirds share their stories around mental health issues, and discuss with Tom the best ways to support people who are having a tough time.
