Welcome to the first edition of the Wellbeing Roundup, your monthly mental health recap from MAN v FAT, powered by JAAQ!

Think of this as your team sheet for your mind, where we look back at last month’s action, share the top plays, and spotlight the resources and support that help keep our mental game strong.

October was a busy month on the mental fitness front, and we’ve teamed up with our partners at JAAQ to bring you the stats, top questions, and new conversations you won’t want to miss.

  1. Autism 
  2. Addiction 
  3. Depression 
  4. Stress

The most-watched video last month?
