Tunnel Mentality

In line with Mental Health Awareness Week, which seeks to raise awareness and tackle the stigma surrounding mental health, Tom Giles (Marketing Manager) and Garin Vivian (Community Events Coordinator) - who both work for the club’s community team – have created a podcast for those who are searching for helpful information, tools and practices to improve their mental and physical health - and that of those closest to them.


Our first guest is Bath Rugby wing Ruaridh McConnochie, who chats openly and honestly about his experiences with mental health, as well as the recent #DrawTheLine campaign to tackle online abuse.
