In today’s episode we are joined by Grace.
Grace’s journey, marked by the challenges of mental health, began with suicidal thoughts that emerged in childhood. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety during her teenage years, Grace's journey has been a testament to perseverance in the face of adversity.
Beyond her own struggles, Grace navigates life as a queer woman living with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), emphasising the importance of mental health intersectionality. Her advocacy extends to the critical understanding that mental health is multifaceted and interconnected with various aspects of one's life.
Her story is not just one of survival but of resilience, empowerment, and the unwavering belief in a brighter tomorrow.

Lifeline would like to acknowledge the lives lost to suicide and recognise those who have survived suicide attempts. And those who struggle today or in the past with thoughts of suicide, mental health issues and crisis situations, we acknowledge all those who have felt the deep impact of suicide, including those who love, care and support people experiencing suicidality and those experiencing the pain and bereavement through suicide. We respect collaboration with people who have a lived or living experience of suicide and mental health issues and value their contribution to the work we do.
