This month’s issue of Brain Storm centred around the theme of community, both the good and bad parts of the wider communities involvement in mental health. I wrote about the stigma surrounding PTSD, and why we need to work to get rid of it. The issue is full of beautiful and heartfelt stories and poetry and art by some incredible writers and creators, and Brain Storm is a project I’m truly proud to be a part of. You can read my piece (pages 8 and 9) and the rest of the issue here, and check out some of the previous issues if you enjoy it (as well as my previous work for the magazine).
