About this listen

This week, JD chats with Freddie (freddiec94), founder of VENT (@venthelpuk), a platform established in 2017 that helps individuals, in particular men and boys, openly discuss their mental health issues through articles for the past six years through his podcast, "The Just Checking In Podcast." JD learns about Freddie's past growing up with autism, being bullied throughout school, and the sexual assault he faced growing up.

JD also explores Freddie’s inspiration behind starting VENT, the aims and objectives of both the organisation and the podcast, and how creating this organisation has helped Freddie overcome his past traumas.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide, sexual assault, and bullying. A very powerful and inspiring listen.
