Sharing by Caregivers and Recovering Patients
Coping with mental health illness is not easy but many patients have successfully done it with their perserverance to recover and strong support from loved ones. Caregivers also face immense challenges in the course of caring for their loved ones suffering from the illness. Many of these patients and caregivers have since become advocates of mental health and openly share their stories with others, only with the intention to de-stigmatise the subject and to inspire more people to show support. For more information, please contact the Corporate Communications department.
