ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
In this series I’ll be chatting to friends about their mental health how they cope, their support systems, advice they’ve learnt and advice they’d like to pass on.
I’m Abby Lacey and I’ve suffered for anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’m not a mental health professional but I am an advocate of speaking out and breaking the stigma attached to mental health.
In 2019, I started Mental Health Mates - Reading, a peer support group organising walks and talks for people suffering from mental illness, along with their family and friends.
Since then, I have made many friends and connected with so many like-minded people, so I thought it would be great to give them a platform to tell their stories. If this podcast can help just one person then my job is done.
