In the season final of Magda’s Big National Health Check, Magda explores the links between our physical and mental health and uncovers the rising tide of mental health conditions as the leading chronic disease amongst young people today.
She takes part in a pioneering Australian initiative: a mental health first aid course that helps young people become first responders and improves our literacy around mental health.
She also discovers the link between food and mental health, when she has her poo tested!
Magda also explores how trauma underpins our mental health — and the importance of building resilience. She sees firsthand how a First Nations community is forging new initiatives to provide safe and supportive environments for the next generation; reaffirming the importance of connected communities.
8:30pm tonight on ABC.

Guess this is up there with latest we’re getting shaken down with lately when it should have been happening decades ago.
