about
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year, whilst ,more than half the population have a severe mental health diagnosis. Meanwhile around two thrid's of the wolds population go through their whole lives without ever being diagnosed or offered help.
With that being said I -monifabanks- have created this website to educate, encourage and aid anyone who may be struggling with their mental health. I am by no means an expert but I am using my knowledge to help and guide others.
Mental health can be a sensitive topic, with this in mind i want you to know that i will always be respectful , protect your privacy and do my best to create a safe space for everyone
