“Do it for the youth and kin, but also do it for the child within”. Why are we ‘Rising up’ for youth mental health? We are not only doing it for the youth of today. We are doing it for the child within ourselves that grew up in an Ireland that never allowed us speak or be different. The news this week reminds us all of our dark past. I think of those friends and peers whose childhood was taken from them. They are the strongest people I know. As Joe Strummer said “the future is unwritten”. This collab with my friend and gem of a human @joecaslin highlights our hopes A Lust For Life and the Rising team want to try help and write a better future. We need your support.
