I believe mental health and wild natural environment are one of the most important issues, influencing everything else in this world. These are also something that need active and consistent care, no matter who you are – each one of us deals with it one way or the other. Let’s acknowledge the challenge and courage to face it and support it in others.
In my everyday life I have chosen my path in music psychology and brain research and as an eco-scout within worldwide scouting movement. This October I chose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to raise awareness of the challenges of mental illness, help stamp out the stigma of mental illness, fund mental health research and conserve wilderness trails. As a graduating PhD student, it is not easy for me to find time to hike very long distances. Nevertheless, I promise to give my best and reach 300km with all of the weekends I have from now on until the end of October.
I really appreciate you considering making a donation (no matter how small – every bit is a step forward!), leaving a message, and sharing this page! Thank you so much!
