Seeking support after a family tragedy
Candidate's greatest contribution to student wellbeing is their advocacy for mental health. They've struggled themselves, and after losing their beloved dad, a Consultant Paediatrician, to suicide, they've committed to breaking the stigma. They've spoken openly with peers, which has encouraged others to share their stories and seek support. They've helped students find empathetic GPs and promoted the benefits of therapy. They believe that speaking up is how we change the culture so no one else suffers in silence and no life is lost.
