Mental Health Problems and Conference Talks with Stacy Cashmore

Mental health is often overlooked until it's too late. When that happens, it's a long way back to recovery. Stacy Cashmore shares her story involving mental health problems and how trusting people and asking for help will lead you to a better state mentally. Finding out what works for you and accommodating for yourself should not make you feel bad. It's completely healthy to look after and take care of your mental health. My favourite quote: "Everybody has mental health. Some people have mental health problems, but EVERYBODY has mental health and if you don't look after your mental health then you're going to get mental health problems" Enjoy! 🎙 Connect with Stacy Cashmore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacycash https://twitter.com/Stacy_Cash https://www.twitch.tv/stacyclouds New episodes every Wednesday with our host 🎙Patrick Akil!   Big shoutout to Xebia for making this episode possible!
