I delivered my first ever mental health testimony for Time to Change in front of a bunch of teachers, (very scary) and they loved it so much they personally requested me to deliver it to their schools!
Reading my story out loud was so empowering. I felt so passionate about what I was saying and felt in control of the situation
Then I went to be on the children and young people advisory panel for them in the Rethink Mental Illness offices the following day; and it was a day spent banding around amazing ideas, completing the new young champion handbook, laying out the new young leader training PowerPoint, and revisiting parts of the website we felt could be improved upon.
It was so nice to feel so appreciated and although it took a lot out of me mentally, I really enjoyed the experience and it was all so positive. I want to do it again and again!
I have a few bits of homework to do today but, as I can hear the rain pouring down outside, I'm not too upset to sit indoors all day on my laptop in the warm.
Hope you all have a safe and positive weekend!
