Katie’s Story
Make Time 4 Mental Health
We all have mental health just as we all have physical health and it varies across the course of our lives.
1 in 10 young people will experience a mental health problem.
My treatment has given me a very positive outlook on life and excitement for the future.
My story is one of hope, even the darkest long nights end eventually.
I still have down days, but thankfully these are few and far between.
Thank You
