Natasha Medlar presents the fifth of our TRUTH Series; the focus of the fifth segment being discussing Mental Health. In this segment we will hear from numerous diverse, empowering people who will each share their own personal stories on their journey in battling Mental Health. I pray this segment inspires and empowers many people whom come across it and that it also helps give strength to those facing the same or a similar obstacle at present.
“My intentions for all various segments of the TRUTH series is to educate others who may not be aware of such issues, whether it’s because it has never been a challenge they themselves have faced, to educate those whom are aware but choose to ignore the issue/s and lastly to help encourage others in being brave in speaking out. As we know, knowledge is key.” – Natasha
I would like to introduce you to our 2nd guest for this segment; Luke Rees. Megan. Luke is an inspirational young person who turned his life around from being a disengaged school student, to an influential young leader. Luke's troubled past makes him the perfect advocate for education. His story of repeated failure in school, a diagnosis of depression and low self-worth, is one that resonates with students today. His objective is for students to recognise the power of education so that they can believe in themselves and create a future self they can be proud of. Luke has become one of Wales' most dynamic, engaging, and sought-after keynote speakers with a client list that features some of the world's most successful organisations. He has worked with clients that include BBC, We Movement, The Diana Award, UK Government and the World Health Organisation to name a few.
