As a parent working with in the field of mental health I’ve try to shield a lot of mental health from my children.
But they know, all children know.
It’s so much more prevalent, known, experienced than when I was their age. I wish they didn’t know or didn’t see as much as they do. That my job as a mental health practitioner in schools is not normalised. Truly how did we get here? Not sure, but here we are.
One thing I did not expect, but am so proud of is my daughter backing Black Dog a foundation without any encouragement by me, an organisation I’ve done free training with so I can support people in the lowest times of their lives. Training which I’m sure is subsidised by people like my daughter doing something as simple (for her maybe not others) as running.
If you have some spare change I can assure you it gets out to people, even out to people like me, who then go on to support a lot more 😊
Together, we can help create better mental health for all.
