Dené (Nai) struggled with poor mental health from a young age. As she grew up, the daily battles that she courageously fought became more and more challenging. At times during her teenage years she received help from statutory mental health services but she felt that their approach didn't work for her.

In August 2016 Dené was again referred for help from statutory mental health services. She was diagnosed with a personality disorder and assessed as medium to high risk of suicide. She was discharged in November 2016 and advised to self refer for further support.

On the 21st February 2017, aged 22, Dené ended the battle, the war that raged in her head on a daily basis, and she took her own life.

Her passion was helping others, and she was just beginning her journey towards becoming a psychotherapist.

We consider Nai’s House to be Dené’s final gift to all those she would have gone on to help.
