I Am a Recovering Anorexic, and I Love Jesus – Eleanor’s Story

Tara’s Story: Coping with What You Can’t Control
Last week we joined the conversation around mental health. Mental health is such a giant topic, especially with young people: 75% of diagnosed mental illness in the UK took root before the age of 18. We know that there is a massive stigma around mental health, and we want to be a part of...
