“I wanted to normalise the conversation around mental health. When I was first diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I faced a lot of stigma and I felt I couldn't share my story with my community. Volunteering with Beyond Blue gave me the opportunity to tackle this stigma and be part of the change.”
