Hi, I'm Liz
Together with my sister Kate, I've created heads2minds in order to raise mental health awareness from both sides. This website is a place where I can share my story as well as others to help fight the stigma that is still very much attached to mental health disorders. We also offer Mental Health and Well-being Training and Kate offers mentoring for young children. We both want to make a difference in this world and create a world full of hope and positive minds.
Our Story
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 in 2003 and suffer mostly from psychotic manic episodes. Kate has also experienced very upsetting times as a result of my condition and we've both been the subject of sanism and a large lack of understanding.
We now tell the story of how my condition has affected my family, my relationships, my work and other aspects of my life through talks with school students, employment forums, the police and other various groups. I have had some amazing feedback and truly positive comments, which only fuels our goal of reaching out to and inspiring others.
