<a href="https://www.happydev.fm" target="_blank">Happy Dev</a> is a podcast that discusses mental health in software development, hosted by <a href="https://james.brooks.page" target="_blank">James Brooks</a>. You can find Happy Dev in your favourite podcasting app, or listen online at <a href="https://www.happydev.fm" target="_blank">https://www.happydev.fm</a> Releasing every other Wednesday, I speak to a new guest as they tell their mental health stories; when they first became aware of their mental health, how it manifests for them, what more the industry and employers can be doing to help their employees and colleagues, and more! Your generous sponsorship will be divided and donated to three charities: <ul><li><a href="https://osmihelp.org/" target="_blank">OSMI</a> - Raising awareness and ending the stigma of mental illness in the developer/tech community.</li><li><a href="https://boysgetsadtoo.com/" target="_blank">Boys Get Sad Too</a> - 20% of their profits actually go towards <a href="https://www.thecalmzone.net" target="_blank">CALM</a>, but I believe strongly in their message. BGST supply apparel with conversation provoking designs. Donations would go directly to BGST so that they can promote their message louder instead of purchasing apparel.</li><li><a href="https://papyrus-uk.org/" target="_blank">PAPYRUS</a> - Provides suicide prevention support and a hotline. I've previously raised funds for PAPYRUS.</li></ul>
