Voicebox: Voice in your head
Mental health still appears to be a taboo topic - we want to change that. We are now gearing our editorial focus to shine a spotlight on the complex and under-reported world of mental health. We will be conducting interviews, writing blogs and feature pieces, and inviting guest writers to provide you with engaging and informative content that hopefully inspires people to be more open and honest about their mental health.
