Tanya Marwaha is a young person that decided to pioneer youth mental health awareness during the pandemic from her bedroom by founding a youth-led peer community Championing Youth Minds. She has struggled with her mental health from a young age after developing long-term disabilities, Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Navigating mental health support as a young female in the South Asian community has especially been a challenge due to the stigma and superstitions attached to mental health, therefore she advocates for mental health education and suicide prevention to recognise the intersectionality of identities and cultural factors.

To learn more about Tanya and connect with her, you can find her on LinkedIn.
