Mind Matters with Rugare

Our Spotify podcast tackles mental health topics that matter to young people — from anxiety and depression to self-care and community support. Hosted by the Rugare team, every episode is a safe space for honest, stigma-free conversation.

We believe that when young people hear others share their stories, they feel less alone. That's the power of Mind Matters.
