Fanatastic work to help end the stigma behind periods 👏🏽

We are so proud of Anvi, who has been hard at work creating boxes full of period products to help raise awareness of Period Poverty and fight the stigma associated with periods. She is part of a team of young women working on the GDST's programme in partnership with LSE Generate creating a social enterprise and donating profits to Bloody Good Period!

Let’s think of our brains as computers we have the hardware (the brain and spine chord) and the software (the way the nervous system works). FND is where there is dysfunction in the software of the nervous system. This can cause an array of symptoms including seizures, tremors, sleep problems, IBS and lack of concentration.

•
Stigma behind mental health/illness is strong. Those with PTSD are stereotypically shown as dangerous, unpredictable and incompetent people. These traits being shown in the media mean it is hard for those suffering to reach out when they need help

How can we reduce this stigma?
