Story
Poor mental health is a global issue and despite research, it is still largely misunderstood. In Sri Lanka especially, treatment of such conditions is poor and there is very limited support available for those who need it.
SLV Global is an amazing organization that sends volunteers to such places as Sri Lanka to work alongside patients within psychiatric hospitals, children with learning difficulties and local residents. Volunteers engage in creative workshops and educational activities, teaching English and other skills as a means of therapeutic intervention.
I am a first year Psychology student at the University of York. Mental health has always been a huge passion of mine and to get the chance to be a member of SLV Global is a once in a lifetime opportunity. This experience will be so valuable to not only my future career but to the residents of Sri Lanka who depend on people like us to help them.
Please donate and help me live this amazing experience. Any donations are much appreciated no matter how small - it will make all the difference!
Thank You - Sophie

I am a Psychology student with the dream of becoming a Clinical Psychologist. However, to achieve this, I need experience within a clinical setting which is hard to find. I am so passionate about mental health and this is such an amazing opportunity for me to do what I love.
