Season Two, Episode Three: A conversation with Adam about psychology and mental health

*Vocab below

Hi everyone, I hope you're all really well.

Today I'm going to be talking to Adam about a really important topic; psychology and mental health.

We actually recorded this episode last year (apologies for the delay in publishing) just before Adam made a very long and difficult journey from Gaza to the Netherlands in order to start his studies at Han University.

I'm mentioning this a) because Adam is a remarkable person b) he is currently running a GoFundMe to support his studies in International Social Work.

Adam has been blind all of his adult life, but this has never stopped his determination, especially for helping others with disability. He is studying International Social Work in order to be able to develop a career in this field in order to have a positive impact.

As he is in some financial difficulties at the moment he is fundraising to support his tuition fees and living expenses for the next few years.

If you would like to read more about Adam (whose real name is Ahmed....Adam is a nickname) and check out a personal video from him, then you can check this link here https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed-studeren-en-zijn-droom-waar-te-maken?utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=chat&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_term=undefined

Many thanks and enjoy the episode!
