MINDS ANONYMOUS
Are you struggling with your mental health? Sometimes it helps to hear what others have been through and how they live day-to-day. It’s also good to talk. Minds Anonymous is a Surrey-based initiative set up to end the stigma surrounding mental health, offer support to those who suffer, and increase understanding of common and uncommon mental health conditions. Providing a safe space to share your stories and deliver hope to those in need, why not share yours? A powerful story can change a life.
