Friendship & Community - 2 Years of FOB

In this weeks episode, Has is joined by Adam Fare, Zoe Burnett, and Christina Taylor. Adam, Zoe and Christina are mental health campaigners who all have a range of mental health illnesses and neurodiversity lived experiences.

In this weeks episode, we discuss:

The importance of friendship and community in recovery, particularly individuals who have been there and understand your difficulties.
How we can work together to get all voices heard, rather than individual voices that may not share every experience?
Stigmas that they have experienced, and how they support each other to navigate these challenges to ensure they continue with their activism and awareness-raising work.
How you can navigate friendships with similar mental health conditions so you don't create a friendship around it, which encourages anti-recovery behaviours and an ED identity.
Finding identity beyond an eating disorder.
How to navigate support groups, making friends, and boundaries in sharing struggles with each other in mind.
