Welcome to the #FindYourFizzPodcast. In this episode, Fizz reconnects with an old primary school friend.
Char Brockman is on a mission to ensure that there is support being set in place for millennials out there, to help them with their mental health challenges, as quite often conventional treatment is not always available. Having suffered from her own personal struggles with mental health, she is now the Co-Founder of Mad Millennials, a non-profit mental health organisation based around the Uk and in Barcelona. I’m very humbled to be a lead mentor for the Berkshire team and to showcase the ethos of this charity by providing peer to peer support.
When Char is not trying to support others through their mental health, she has found a way to cope with her own, through singing and songwriting, she tries to strike a balance of setting a self reflective tone of strength and vulnerability through her lyrics, Honestly her voice is sublime.
Char speaks about her journey and struggles with such honestly and rawness. We all know times are tough right now, so please ensure you find support if you need it right now. Its really ok to say, ' Hey, I'm really not ok right now'.

If you require support please do seek help from a health professional, speak to someone you trust or contact charities such as Mind UK or Samaritans for support. If you feel like you are in danger or someone you know is in danger, please contact the emergency services on 999/111.
In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123. In the US, The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. In Austrailia, the crisp support service is on 13 11 14.
Thank you Char for sharing your story, so grateful for you.
