    Story

    I will be spending this summer working with SLV Global taking part in a mental health placement in Bali, Indonesia. SLV is a voluntary organisation running projects to help the local communities while simultaneously helping students to gain valuable experience in a totally different culture. I will be loaning my skills to this organisation and am really looking forward to getting stuck in to a new culture.

    I will be working with individuals who suffer with mental illness in Bali. I will be running activities for patients and using sensory, music and creative therapies to engage with patients on a variety of wards in multiple institutions. I’ll also be attending various mental health workshops and learning from local professionals. In addition to this I will also be working with individuals with special needs and teaching English to children and to young people on vocational courses.

    I will be living in a homestay with an Indonesian family and hope to fully immerse myself into a different culture and way of life.

    I am fundraising to help cover the costs of my placement involving cost of resources used for example in therapies and workshops and in the psychiatric unit, accommodation, specialised-training, travel and all the additional things that come with taking on a project like this.

    For me, the most important and foremost factor in completing this project is to help increase the mental health and wellbeing of others. Mental health is something that affects everybody in one way or another and by helping people progress in their own mental well-being this allows them to cope with the stressors of everyday life, connect and work with others, realise their own potential and really just live a happier life.

    Global mental health awareness is growing however there is still a lot to be done. As a rough figure nearly 90% of those who need access to mental health services in Indonesia are unable to do so. In Bali people are pushing against the stigma of mental illness but lack the resources and awareness needed! I hope to assist this push in summer with the balinese people but also continue to raise mental health awareness and help those who need it wherever and whenever I can.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for any support!
