“This event for me personally is one I relished from start to finish. My attention didn't wane despite only having 4 hours sleep the night prior. It left me feeling a great sense of responsibility towards my sisters. Too many of us are isolated and isolate ourselves. We try to reach out into a deafening silence. There were other sisters who felt the same. This needs to stop. We need more of these events. Maybe even a whole course. I could have stayed for hours learning so much more. The sisters had such a wealth of knowledge to impart. Selflessly sharing and helping us. I can't wait for another event like it or a continuation of it.”
- R.K, Croydon

“The brain on fire session was extremely useful as it highlighted just how important self care in a physical sense is and the correlation with one's mental wellbeing. Informative and engaging session, provided a basis for the participants to learn more about the topic and also empowered them to implement genuine change in their lives.”
