Andy's Story

I have family members who have been dealing with mental health conditions, from panic attacks to depression.  I have seen the effect that these can have and the great work that can be done with the right support. 

Supporting Mental Health Awareness also helps remove the stigma attached to it, the more we can talk about it the easier it will be for those effected.  So go on give something, anything, you will be helping a lot of people and not just ones with mental health problems, you will be helping the countless families.

Chloe's Story

I was diagnosed with epilepsy ages 11, since then I have dealt with depression and anxiety as a result. I have found myself battling low points throughout my life.

After loosing my nana and grandad within 4 weeks of each other in 2015,  my epilespy became active, i reach that low point again. Instead of trying to hide, i sought help from a mental health charity and internal support from Lloyds bank. My live has turned around, I am back to the positive, happy, self i was before. Talking about, and support mental health awareness is personally important to me, making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe talking about it should be important to us all.
