Campaign: | To raise awareness of mental health issues and show that recovery is possible |
I struggled with mental illness throughout my teenage years and into early adulthood and during that period experienced some of the darkest times of my life.
I didn’t have a proper understanding of mental health then, and feel that if I had, I might have known to ask for help sooner.
With Fixers, my friend Alice, and the rest of my team, I want to raise awareness of mental health issues so others have a better chance of knowing when they need to seek support.
I want young people to speak out about their feelings, knowing that they aren’t alone and that recovery is possible.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
Alice | Catherine Tinkler |
Hollie Cullen | Chloe Print-Lambert |
Rohit Lobo | Katie Clark |
Sophie Peachey | Reiss Frost |
Sipiwe Daka | Laura Rose Goddard |
Terri Parminter | Lucy Kelly |
Suzannah Baylis | Cei Tubridy |
