About "What Really Works?"
What is 'What Really Works?'
‘What Really Works?’ is a mental health podcast for young people. We remove the ‘clinical’ jargon and chat honestly about our experiences and what we’ve found to work in our lives in a down-to-earth way. You can expect to hear all about the good and bad we’re experiencing, as well as some tools and tricks we can use to support our mental health and well-being right now and in the long term.

‘What Really Works?’ is hosted by Olivia and Beki. They are both in their twenties (handy since the podcast is tailored for young people) and want to create open conversations about mental health!

What Topics Do You Discuss?
On ‘What Really Works?’ we chat about all things that can impact our mental health. So we have episodes on topics such as anxiety, body image, and burnout.
But we also discuss topics that might not come straight to our mind when we think about mental health, including procrastination, rejection, and people-pleasing (just to name a few)!
