Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. With that in mind, have a little think about how many people you know and then how many of those people talk openly about their mental health... is it 1 in 4?
Research from the Mind #LetsTalk campaign highlights that many of us are afraid to open up to our friends and family about problems that may be affecting our mental health for the fear of being judged - despite the fact that talking about things and getting things off our chest can make us feel better.
At YANA we are passionate about sharing our mental health experiences. We know that by sharing our stories not only helps us to feel less alone but others as well. Talking about our mental health often empowers and inspires more people to do the same - creating a ‘domino effect’. This will help us towards normalising the subject and ending the stigma that we still face daily.
Over the coming weeks our wonderful brand ambassadors will be sharing their experiences in the hope to do just that.
