Amelia

Hi! My name is Amelia. I wanted to join Spark because I whole heartedly believe in its mission to break the stigma of youth mental health. As someone who knows first hand how important it is to have open conversations about mental health and have easily accessible resources, I look forward to using my lived experience, knowledge and ideas to support the organisation's goals. I am a Mental Health First Aider and a campaigner. My work focuses on encouraging young people to become active citizens and have their say whether that is by voting, getting involved in decision-making spaces, or campaigning for change. I believe the mental health crisis facing young people is a symptom of wider inequality challenges in society, and I look forward to advising on intersectional campaigns.
