PROTECT | Values for Well-being and Resilience
HEALING WITH HOPE | A Journey of Mental Wellbeing, Resilience, and Connection
Welcome to PROTECT, a transformative podcast dedicated to nurturing mental well-being, building resilience, and fostering hope. At its core, PROTECT is about the power of human connection—exploring how values like compassion, belonging, and loyalty can become lifelines for those facing challenges. Founded on the principle of Relational Safety, this podcast moves beyond traditional perspectives, asking not “what’s the matter with you?” but “what matters to you?”—empowering both professionals and individuals in their journey to chip away at pain and build strength.
Hosted by Dr. Manaan Kar Ray, an innovator and leader in mental health crisis care with over a decade of experience at Oxford and Cambridge, and now the Director of Mental Health Services at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, PROTECT is changing the way we think about suicide prevention. Each episode blends leading-edge research with person-centered practice, bringing insights that promote hope, purpose, and resilience.
In our new focus, we introduce Sunny’s Value Scouts—an uplifting series designed to cultivate resilience in younger audiences. Each story explores a value—from belonging and acceptance to courage and compassion—helping to build emotional strength and guide listeners through life's ups and downs. This podcast is an essential resource for all those who care deeply about mental health, suicide prevention, and building communities that thrive on connection and kindness.

Think about the people and pursuits that matter to you. As you touch the lives of your loved ones or follow your dreams, what values would you want to live in these relationships or the daily pursuit of your life goal? Values can lead you to your Ikigai, the sweet spot of your passion, mission, vocation and profession. Your plan de vida, soul’s purpose, values will provide with the WHY you wake up in the morning. It is the values that will help you stay on course and be the wind in your sails. Underpinning life goals with values is a bit like learning to use your sails, you cannot change the direction of the wind or the distance to the destination, but you can adjust your sail.
