As a Psychologist I have a keen interest in mental health awareness.
I worked as a youth mental health advocate with Brighton Mind to raise awareness of mental health issues. This involved helping the local CAMHs to hire new staff and working with the Jubilee Library on a new 'Shelf Help' section.
I also was part of a group called Art in Mind that was working to publish a graphic novel about young people's mental health experiences alongside ITV Fixers.
I have continued my support for mental health charities through my work with Rockit Funding, where I helped You and Me Counselling to apply to funding with the Evening Standard and created a literature review on the impact of loneliness for the elderly for Action for Elders.
