For many individuals living in Bali who live / suffer from a mental illness, access to treatment can become very difficult. Many individuals within the Balinese culture believe disability is caused by black magic or evil spirits. While on the other hand, others dont know about or trust medical treatment, and for those who do, they can not afford it. In September 2019, as a volunteer for a month I will be running therapeutic actuvity sessions in psychiatric facilities for individuals suffering from a range of mental health issues. I’ll be working in a range of government run schools and social initiatives for children with disabilities, as well as teaching English in the local community. From an area that I am greatly passionate of working within I will be able to provide hands on a great amount of support for mental health services in the local communities, which are often deprived in resources. I will be able to apply the skills that I have so far developed as a student Mental Health Nurse and gain a vast amount of knowledge and experience that I may not gain over here in the UK and will be able to hopefully adapt my new skills over here ss a future Mental Health Nurse to help people in this country who are living with mental health difficulties. I would greatly allreciate any small donation to help with my volunteer work in Bali ehich will be used for resources, vaccination, transport and accommodation. Thank you for reading.
