MHAW2025 Together CEO Linda Bryant on Physical Wellbeing and Mental Health
Concluding our coverage for Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 and our theme of Physical Wellbeing our CEO Linda Bryant shares her own lived experience around physical activities she undertakes and how they interplay with her mental health. Linda also considers how concerns around physical health can impact wellbeing and barriers that exist in society for people to be able to prioritise their physical wellbeing.

We’ve split the interview with Linda into 3 shorter clips that are below but if you’d prefer you can scroll down to watch the full video as one.
In this first video Linda explains different physical activities she undertakes herself and how they benefit her mental health and wellbeing.
In this second video Linda considers the way physical health conditions or concerns can impact mental health sharing some lived experience on the topic and describing how it effected her wellbeing.
In the final video clip Linda considers barriers that exist within society that can prevent people from engaging with their physical wellbeing and changes that would help.
