My Travel Story

Mental Health funding is something we are fighting for, here in the UK. We are complaining because we believe that we do not recieve sufficient funding. Looking at it from a worldwide perspective, we are fortunate to be able to be provided with the care we recieve. We are lucky to be able to have therapies, medication and a low patient to doctor ratio. In countries that are less economically developed, the fight is a lot stronger. They fight for a place to recieve treatment, they struggle for the money to pay for medication. 

This is not something I can change. However, knowing that these individuals are fighting day in and out to learn and grow the way we do is just astonishing. I would love to be able to help in teaching and providing resources to increase their employability and quality of living. 

They deserve it, just as much as we all do.
