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. This picture represents some people with mental health issues, but not everyone. Ashley is…

Conversations with… Mei (Mental Health)
We live in a world where suicide is the biggest killer in men under the age of 45 and is rising in young women too. We live in a world where phrases like ‘man up’, ‘grow some balls’ and ‘crying is for babies’ are still said to people when they are vulnerable and reach out…

Conversations with… Sarah Storton (Subject: Mental Health)
My friendship with Sarah was one of the only things to survive the end of my four year relationship with my ex other than my love for Dominos pizza. Whilst I still do really love Dominos, and believe me I do, I’ve got to admit that I love Sarah even more. Sarah has always been…
