Breaking Taboos: Older Australians Talk About Mental Health is a ten-part conversational podcast series that brings raw, heartfelt stories into the spotlight, offering an unfiltered look at the mental health journeys of Australians aged 60 and over.
From navigating grief, retirement, and aged care transitions to living with HIV/AIDS or undergoing gender transition later in life, the series covers ground rarely explored in public conversations.
The series shows how people can live well in older age, the way people manage mental health and build connections to stay well.
Funded by the Australian Research Council, the podcast is part of the national research project De-tabooing Depression and Anxiety: Mental Health Communication in Older Age, led by Monash University in collaboration with the University of Tasmania and Corvinus University of Budapest.
Drawing from in-depth interviews with 50 Australians aged 60 to 97, the series is hosted by Chief Investigator and renowned linguist Professor Kate Burridge. The episodes are produced by Dr Helene Thomas and Professor Mia Lindgren, both experienced audio storytellers and researchers.
Many of the episodes contain discussions of difficult subject matter so please take care while listening. You can find links to support services in the show notes for each episode.
Episodes will be released on Friday 6 June.
