I lost a loved one to suicide, and before that I always knew I wanted to go into mental health. I have also done lots of research on the dangers of the stigma surrounding men's mental health and suicide rates, as I have experienced firsthand what it has done to my dad. While I cannot apply for the scholarship, I still wanted to make a contribution and share my love, support, and gratitude towards this fund so it may reach as many passionate souls as possible.
