Mental health blogs
Our blogging community consists of many contributors who are experts in the field of mental health, or who have themselves experienced mental illness and have experience and expertise to share through their own personal journey. We believe shared experience can help the feelings of isolation associated with mental health problems.
Please do feedback to us and comment on our blogs. It is wonderful to hear from you and interact, afterall your shared experience helps our community grow and understand more and more about the issues important to us all.
