Conversation with Ashley (Subject: Why Travel is Good for Mental Health)
When we think of someone who struggles with mental health, we picture someone who perhaps isn’t at work because of their mental health, someone who finds it hard to maintain relationships, who struggles in social situations, who doesn’t leave the house.

Conversations with… Elena (Subject: Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Becoming Who You Want To Be)
As a victim of a sexual assault, I understand to some extent the impact trauma can have on a person’s life. Whilst what happened doesn’t define me, it will always be a part of me and it will always be something I have to work on overcoming. This week, Elena shares the story of her…

Conversations with… Elizabeth Cavanagh (Subject: Sibling Loss/Grief)
I remember the day of graduation like it was yesterday. It was 2015, I’d worked really hard to achieve a First and I couldn’t wait to celebrate three years of hard work finally being over! I had bought a new dress, the sun was shining and I couldn’t wait to see everyone who had survived…
