Women's Mental Health

Ladies; You're often the foundations of any strong support system; mothers, partners, sisters, grandmothers, friends and relatives. Mental illness is an extremely complex issue, that's why we ensure that we maintain that this project is not intended to give medical advice, nor will it claim to have all of the answers. Anyone interpreting this project as setting the importance of men's mental health above women's is our worst nightmare. We fully support any and all awareness campaigns, groups and charities dedicated to women's mental health. For further information on some of these groups, please see the following list of resources!
