Grow FM: In conversation with Danny Rahim

Actor Danny Rahim discusses his personal mental health journey

In this series of live Grow FM broadcasts, we are inviting artists and creatives to share their experience of navigating mental health journeys, both from a personal perspective and through their creative practice. 

Part of our Grow FM radio programme, on 31 July we will be speaking to actor Danny Rahim about his campaigning around mental health practices and suicide rates. 

When Danny was thirteen, his mother was involved in a near-fatal car accident where she lost her unborn child. She was subsequently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and continues to work with her challenges today. Throughout his teenage years, Danny became a young carer for his mother and two sisters and, after a series of unfortunate events, Danny himself had a breakdown. This sparked his curiosity into the subject of mental health and a desire to turn his personal experience into something positive that could help and enable others.
