Emotional well-being social enterprise PukaUp, founded by AFL legend Wayne Schwass, has partnered with health and well-being program AIA Vitality to launch the new season of its popular podcast.
The launch is timed just ahead of World Mental Health Day and a statement from the two organisations says the podcast will aim to educate and assist listeners “…on their journey to better know and improve their individual well-being in what has been a challenging year for all”.
The statement says that Schwass will host interviews with a variety of world-class well-being experts and shed light on practical tools and strategies to manage emotional well-being.
CEO of AIA Australia and New Zealand Damien Mu says in the statement that the partnership between AIA Vitality and PukaUp “…aligns a shared dream between both organisations to help people lead healthier, longer, better lives and importantly normalise the conversation around mental health and well-being”.
“As an insurer, we have seen claims for mental health conditions increase each year, which is a major concern for Australia. We want to do whatever we can to help improve people’s mental health earlier,” says Mu.
The new 20-episode PukaUp podcast season goes live on 8 October, ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10 October, with weekly episodes and highlights rolled out across AIA Vitality’s and PukaUp’s channels through to January 2021.
