She designed this for the RHS Flower Show while she was on sick leave recovering from surgery. The garden was inspired by the importance of sleep, looking after your well-being, and green space for sustaining good mental health. \r\n\r\nAntonis Kousoulis, Associate Director of Research and Development and Linda Liao, Digital Manager at The Mental Health Foundation have a discussion with Bethan later in the podcast about tips for getting good sleep and how to incorporate green space into your routine to help look after your mental health. \r\n\r\nThis airs ahead of World Sleep Day which is on Friday, 15th March 2019. \r\n\r\nIf you have been impacted by anything in this episode remember that Samaritans are available to call 24/7 for free on 116 123. \r\n\r\n**Remember to rate, review and subscribe**\r\n\r\nPodcast host: Bethan Buswell - Digital Engagement Officer, Mental Health Foundation https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/about-us/people/bethan-buswell \r\nPodcast editor: Tim Butcher - https://www.timbutcher.co.uk/\r\n\r\nMain feature guest: Julie Dunn: https://juliedunntattonshowgarden.wordpress.com/ \r\nhttps://truggardendesign.co.uk/ \r\n\r\nReview panel: \r\nLinda Liao - Digital Manager, Mental Health Foundation \r\nAntonis Kousoulis - Associate Director of Research and Development, Mental Health Foundation https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/about-us/people/antonis-kousoulis \r\n\r\n\r\nPodcast notes: \r\n\r\nMain feature: \r\nDr Chaterjee talks to BBC Breakfast about what Lifestyle Medicine is and training doctors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlTTJTY4NMU \r\nThe 4 Pillar Plan: How to Relax, Eat, Move, Sleep your way to a Longer, Healthier Life: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35457841-the-4-pillar-plan \r\nJulie’s blog: https://juliedunntattonshowgarden.wordpress.com/ \r\nAutism Together: http://www.autismtogether.co.uk/ \r\nRHS Flower Show, Tatton Park: https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-flower-show-tatton-park \r\nSleep Well Garden at RHS Flower Show: https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-flower-show-tatton-park/Gardens/2018/sleep-well \r\nJulie Dunn, University of Liverpool: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/translational-medicine/staff/julie-dunn/ \r\nInstagram, MHF Question Time, What place or space helps you with your mental health: https://www.instagram.com/p/BlsWIiIneZN/ \r\nHow to look after your mental health, free downloadable guide: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-to-mental-health \r\nNess Botanic Gardens: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/ness-gardens/ \r\n\r\nAdvert: \r\nBe Mindful: https://www.bemindfulonline.com/ \r\n\r\nBethan, Linda, Antonis review: \r\nTen top tips for good sleep: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/blog/ten-top-tips-good-sleep \r\nHow to sleep better guide: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-sleep-better \r\nWhat place or space helps your mental health blog: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/blog/what-place-or-space-helps-your-mental-health \r\nGreen space and mental health: https://publichealthmatters.blog.gov.uk/2016/11/09/green-space-mental-wellbeing-and-sustainable-communities/\r\nTrees and mental health: https://www.theexeterdaily.co.uk/news/health-beauty/exeter-university-research%C2%A0reveals%C2%A0link-between-trees%C2%A0and%C2%A0mental%C2%A0heath\r\nHow to look after your mental health using exercise: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-to-using-exercise \r\nGuide to investing in your relationships: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/guide-investing-your-relationships \r\n\r\n\r\nFind out more about the Mental Health Foundation: \r\nWebsite: www.mentalhealth.org.uk/ \r\nInstagram: instagram.com/mentalhealthfoundation/ \r\nFacebook: facebook.com/mentalhealthfoundation/ \r\nTwitter: twitter.com/mentalhealth \r\n\r\nGet in touch with us: contactus@mentalhealth.org.uk","author_name":"Mental Health Foundation"}
