JCIP #8 - Jon Gilmartin

In the eighth episode of the Just Checking In Podcast, we spoke to Speech and Language Therapist for children's charity, I CAN, Jon Gilmartin. I CAN is a communication charity that helps children with speech, language and communication needs unlock their potential and ensure no child is left behind because of a difficulty communicating. We discussed the life-changing work Jon does for children who desperately need it. We also discussed the acting community he is a part of at Tower Theatre, Jon's own mental health journey, his coming out story, his upbringing and of course, a chat about our mental health! As always, #itsokaytovent For any parents or carers who are concerned about a child in their care's speech and language, please contact the I CAN Help Team on 020 7843 2544 or email [email protected] More information about the work I CAN do can be found at: https://www.ican.org.uk/ Find out more about the work Tower Theatre does and how you can buy tickets to one of their upcoming shows at: http://www.towertheatre.org.uk/ Music: @patawawa - Strange; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk
