I have had my own experience with mental health issues since I was 18/19 therefore this is a cause close to my heart. I think its important to try to end the stigma with mental help so more people can speak up and get help. Me4Mental provide various service such as having a drop in center for anyone in need, an online community, Mental Health Advocacy, Support and Advice with regard to services available in the local area as well as One to One appointments available on request.

As I have experienced myself, there is often a long waiting list for therapy when going through your doctor and medication takes time to work however most will be at a very low point at this stage so there is a need for support during this time which is what Me4Mental provide.

I will be running the Waterside Half Marathon in Sept 2019 and hoping to raise money for Me4Mental as they are a totally voluntary registered charity therefore any help which can be given is very much appreciated.
