Growing up in care and why mental health matters
Content warning - This episode discusses mental health struggles. Helplines are listed below.
The first episode of CREATE's brand-new podcast, Voices in Action: Journeys in care is dedicated to Mental Health Month. In this episode, we chat to child protection advocate, CEO and CREATE Young Consultant, Flick (AKA Felicity) about her experiences with mental health, in the context of growing up in care.
Flick shares that it doesn't matter what job title you have, or how far along you are on your healing journey, people can still struggle with their mental health. Flick gives advice for other young people with a care experience about the importance of seeking support, finding supportive communities and how sharing your story can be empowering.
Flick is the CEO and Founder of Fostering Change Australia and published author of 'Not Held Down' & 'Oscar’s layers'. Follow Felicity's work on Instagram at @Fostering_Change_Australia
