Senator Jacqui Lambie has urged those struggling with mental health issues to stay strong and persevere through the hard times they are facing, ahead of World Mental Health Day.
The independent Senator, known in politics for her fight and conviction, has opened up about her own mental health battles, calling on those who are also struggling to take ‘one step’ forward at a time towards recovery.
Her call for those suffering to stay strong, comes as new data released by mental health support group Headspace revealed nearly two-thirds of young people believe the mental health of younger Australians is getting worse.
