In May 2024, Lara Philippart decided to sit on a bench and invite strangers to talk about their mental health, becoming ‘That Park Bench Girl’. She’s since had over 100 conversations, and today she adds Dr Alex George to that list. 


In part one, Lara explains why she began ‘park benching’, the surprising statistics around the amount of men who have spoken to her and the process of becoming a mental health first aider.
