We're proud to have worked with Prof @ahmedhankir + couldn't agree more with the importance of amplifying the voices of persons living with #mentalhealth conditions! We must work #together. Good #health - social, mental, pshycal - is essential! 👍 @empowerISL @copewellstudy

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is fast approaching! We MUST amplify the voices of persons living with mental health conditions. The lessons we have learned from our experiences, our wisdom & insights are all invaluable. I will be sharing pearls and the tools that helped me to recover…
