The Support Squad
JAAQ’s team is growing. Here are a few of the mental health minds coming soon to the screen in your hands
Paul Salkovskis
Some anxiety is normal – but when it becomes constant, uncontrollable and interferes with your daily life, it’s worth seeking help. Professor Salkovskis, who worked as an NHS clinical psychologist and is now director of the Oxford Centre for Psychological Health, is your (virtual) listening ear.
Jonny Benjamin
Suicide may be the most common killer of men under the age of 45, but it remains an incredibly challenging topic to discuss. Author, filmmaker and campaigner Benjamin is one man who came back from the brink – and is on hand to share his story.
Janet Treasure
An estimated quarter of those struggling with eating disorders are men and boys. If you’re concerned, you’re not alone. From anorexia and bulimia to binge-eating disorder, Professor Treasure – a world-leading psychiatrist specialising in the topic – can help you decide on your next course of action.
Zak Hardaker
For JAAQ, the rugby league star will be speaking about how sport and exercise can benefit everyday mental health. He’s previously discussed his struggles with alcohol, as well as his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis.
