Why is it important?

It is important because people with a lived experience of mental health issues have a unique insight that students can benefit from learning about, how they feel about engaging in this will help us to keep them involved.

Perspectives

This article is important to me as I value the presenters and the experiences they share with students. I feel that it is important to understand why they participate in these sessions in order to support others to do the same and to ensure that they also get what they need from sharing their stories.
