Why Mental Health?

In the past few years, ‘Mental Health’ has been a recurring topic of discussion in the media. Recently, I eagerly listened to an interview-style audiobook called:

WHAT DO I DO? Mental Health and Me.’ Where Kelly Holmes interviews some of the UK celebrities who have coped with mental health difficulties. I myself have faced mental health difficulties… and come out fighting. According to Mind, approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. So if it’s so common, why have we remained so silent until now?

This blog is born out of the intent to break the silence and speak up, so that people who have gone through mental health difficulties don’t begin to think they’re alone or another statistic. – Help me create a strong social support network.

I will be posting resources, quotes, helpful videos, and advice I’ve picked up along the way.
