Eliza Packham’s Yarn - Speak Up

Added by Desert Pea Media

Description Part of the 'Break It Down: Community Conversations Around Mental Health' project 2017/2018. (DPM/PHN WNSW)

It’s terrifying to talk about the trauma in our lives, but that’s exactly what you have to do, in order to heal. Eliza Packham shows us that there’s huge power in saying no to shame. When Eliza heard others openly talk about their problems, she realised that she too could do the same - and she’s grown stronger because of that. Silence helps no one. Stand up, share your experiences with your mob, and encourage others to do the same. It’s the only way to beat mental illness and make the life you want for yourself.
