My interview with the Peace of Mind Initiative
In early September 2024 I was interviewed by a member of youth-led, US-based "Peace of Mind Initiative" (https://www.instagram.com/peace.of.mind.initiative/), whose goal is to destigmatize teenage mental health challenges.
[Note: For the purpose of having an authentic conversation, my responses to the questions were not prepared in advance, nor rehearsed. Apologies for the moments of low sound quality!]
Key points in the conversation: 👇
