CHAPTER 4 YOUR STORIES: Mental Health and Addiction
During my time in the salon as a hairdresser I have witnessed ‘courage’ and ‘vulnerability’ from people of all ages. The many stories shared with me have been both confronting and educational.
What l have witnessed recently, particularly since the start of 2020 when we were faced with a Worldwide Pandemic, is that there has been a significant increase in people facing Mental Health issues.
Substance abuse, Problem gambling, Depression and Anxiety are just some of the Mental Health issues that are impacting on the lives of everyday people.
Popping pills, prescribed medication isn’t always the answer for everyone. Recently l witnessed first-hand how easy it was to be prescribed medication without a proper Mental Health plan or assessment. It blew my mind, literally!!!
