Hello, everyone! My name is David and I have been a Talkbank member for a few months now.
Having had a long-standing mental health problem, I have found Talkbank to be both a positive and engaging experience. Both staff and members are a friendly bunch and have made my time here extremely enjoyable, as well as educative and informative.
If you fancy getting involved yourself, I am sure you would be made to feel quite welcome.
Today we have been completing our preperations for the new issue of the Talkbank Times, which should be available by 10th October, World Mental Health Day.
Jim and Claire have been completing their interview on what it is like to take part in the Talkbank training course, while Helen and myself have been attempting to write a small article on Sanity Fair.
Josie has been looking for positive quotes to put in the Talkbank Times.
In the meantime, we all continue to monitor the media for signs of discrimination against those who suffer mental ill health.

Hello David-
I realise how important the Talkbank project has been to you and others. Ofcourse, it gives you a real sense of involvement with like-minded individuals.
The opportunity to reduce the unfair stigma that surrounds mental health distress is an objective we all share.
Thank you for this posting Dave.
