Greetings Chris-
I want to thank you for increasing the awareness of the 'Mindbloggling' community.
It was very positive to have the opportunity to go on the radio and challenge my anxiety. I am most grateful to you Chris.
I hope people will check out our inspirational, thought-provoking community of bloggers. We challenge the stigma attached to mental health distress.
Kind regards Klahanie ( A man challenging his 'inner-critic')
Dear Chris,
As an active member of our mindbloggling community, I wish to thank you for featuring the broadcast concerning our community of bloggers.
I feel certain that in doing so, you will have been instrumental in raising the profile of mental health issues, and help to eradicate some of the misconceptions held, whilst also giving a more positive, realistic, and balanced view to your listeners.
Kind regards, Domenica.
