In this opening episode of Season 6, we are joined by Jinny to explore what meaningful support looks like for neurodivergent people facing crisis.

The conversation looks at the Dynamic Support Register and its role in preventing hospitalisation, placement breakdowns and repeated emergency intervention, alongside real world insight from intensive support work in both community and inpatient settings. We also touch on work alongside the criminal justice system and how adapted communication, therapeutic approaches and coordinated support can change outcomes.

A thoughtful and honest start to the season that centres listening, understanding and always keeping the children and young people at the centre of everything we do.

In the final episode of Series 5 of the Great Minds Together podcast, hosts Emma, Lucy and Rachel come together to reflect on everything 2025 has held. Guided by listener questions, the conversation looks back on a year of growth, challenge, learning and resilience across Great Minds Together and the wider systems we work within.

From impactful programme delivery and the opening of the 5th Avenue Project community hub, to honest conversations about education, care and leadership, this episode offers a thoughtful and human reflection on what it really means to keep people at the centre. It is a grounded and hopeful close to the series, shaped by lived experience, shared values and a clear commitment to neuroaffirming practice.

In this honest and relatable Movember special, James and Stefan open the door to a conversation that many men have been taught to avoid. They explore what it actually means to share feelings, ask for support, and break away from the long standing idea that men must stay strong and silent.

This episode is rooted in real lived experience, gentle humour, and genuine care. It shines a light on why mens voices matter, how supportive relationships grow, and how we can all play a part in changing the way society understands mens mental health.
