She goes on to introduce Mind HK’s destigmatisation campaign ‘More Than A Label’, where everyday Hong-Kongers share their mental health recovery journeys, to help others better understand mental ill health and recovery.Odile even chaperones Andrew through a quasi role play to begin to give an understanding of how friends can frame a conversation, and the environment, so we can all be of assistance to help those in need when struggling with mental health and assist them to find the right place to support their needs (and that of our own).This was a really important and informative conversation that needs to be heard in the wake of rising global mental health challenges.See you again in two weeks Here are some useful links for this podcasthttps://www.morethanalabelhk.com/IG @morethanalabelhkhttps://www.mind.org.hk/IG @mindhongkongRelevant episodesLiving with Trauma with Former NY Rangers Captain Barry Beck -https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-37-barry-beck-hockey-and-living-with-trauma/id1527374894?i=1000546771444Youth Mental health and body image with Stephanie Ng from Body Banter - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-31-stephanie-ng-from-body-banter-youth-mental/id1527374894?i=1000537462668Imagine you were enough?
