Mental Health and the Power of Community- In Conversation with Alex Traska

*Please be aware that this interview involves discussion around suicide and bereavement that may be triggering or upsetting.*

Back in 2021, Alex Traska from MyHouseYourHouse radio got in touch with us at Soundcheck. He and his associate Jackie were organising an event called the Mentally Sound Weekender and he invited us to be one of their nominated charities. We’ll always be so grateful to him and the MyHouseYourHouse community for supporting us, encouraging us and making us part of their collective history. To that end, it was so great to speak with Alex for this episode of Soundcheck Stories and draw upon his extensive experience in music alongside a deep and honest dialogue on grief, shared loss and the power of community.
