Content warning - this video contains mention of mental health and suicidal thoughts. I have been lucky enough to spend a very enjoyable weekend at The Big Retreat Festival in Wales, volunteering with Blink Mental Health - they are a fabulous charity who offer a chill out area and free single session therapy at festivals. I did not expect to be involved in a panel discussion around #mentalhealth and sharing some of my story and how and why I got involved with BLINK. The panel was brilliantly hosted by Harrison Ward, and other participants were the founder of BLINK, Mike McAdam and Jane, one of the volunteer therapists. It is so important to open up the conversation around mental health, it is one of the 3 key foundation blocks for human life. We talk a lot about the other two, it is time to start talking about the third. #NutritionalHealth #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth For me - mental health is becoming increasingly important in the journey of discovery and is a fascinating aspect which can help you reach a higher potential for both yourself and those around you. It is so easy to think that you have a 'normal' life, once you start to take a look it can uncover stories and beliefs which are driving your current behaviour patterns, which may not be the way you would like to be living at all.

I'm overwhelmed to share that I've already reached my target for Mind! Your generosity means the world to me. If anyone still wishes to donate, here's the link to my JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/ezCfAMJR As the countdown to the Fan Dance continues (Sunday), I find myself reflecting deeply on the importance of mental health. I wanted to share my personal experience about mental health. I've faced significant loss due to mental health struggles, losing my dad and close friend, James Tait. My own journey with trauma led me to struggle with expressing emotions, a common issue among people of my generation who were taught to see vulnerability as weakness. Years of suppressing emotions can wreak havoc on our mental well-being and central nervous system, affecting our ability to think clearly and rationally. Through support, I've learned to process these emotions, gaining clarity that has had a profound impact on my work, relationships, and how I interact with my children. This transformation has been liberating, and I believe it's crucial to spread awareness about the importance of mental health. I'm not here to preach, but if my experience can inspire even one or two of you to seek help, then sharing my story is worth it. Don't bottle up your feelings. Talk to someone—a friend, a good listener, or even a stranger. Embracing vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's a superpower. Let's prioritize mental health together and support each other on this journey. hashtag #MentalHealthAwareness #FanDanceChallenge #SupportEachOther #MindCharity #MentalResilience #BreakTheStigma

To destigmatize mental health issues, we need to break down the walls and have open, relatable conversations around it. And one of the most effective ways to do that is sharing the stories of people who have made that journey. When an Australian non-profit organization, headspace, decided to cover the inspiring story of Lucy, One of their employees who overcame the perils of severe psychosis using their services. It wasn’t about a medium that was visually pleasing to the eyes or turned the spotlight on them. They needed something that could talk about a sensitive yet serious mental health condition and humanize it for their viewers. Headspace found that medium with animated videos. Together with Jumbla Animation Studios, they crafted this short yet powerful video that brought Lucy’s story to life. It depicts her journey from tragedy to triumph, Spreading awareness on mental health issues and their remedies along the way. Making her victory feel like a personal win for anyone who watches this video and resonates with it. Did you find this video from Headspace inspiring? Do let us know in the comments.
