People's experiences
Reading people's stories can really help in understanding what it can be like to experience a mental illness or to care for someone who is unwell.
In this section you'll find real people's stories and experiences and also our new storyboard, Jess's Journey. Jess is experiencing mental illness for the first time. This is the story of what that can be like, how the mental health system works and what you're likely to experience when you become ill.
Blogs
See Rethink's new Rethink blogs section where you can read online diaries, experiences and views. You can also add your comments to blog entries.
We have one blog writer at the moment called Mary and we hope to have more blog entries in this section soon.
