YGTV // The Story Behind Mental Health Platform, #HalfTheStory

Mental health is becoming more and more prominent in our daily lives, not only because the pressures of the world are growing, but also because finally the conversation on mental health is an open one; we are no longer afraid to speak up, share, and ask for help. A lot of this is to do with outlets like #HalfTheStory a global non-profit media platform, encouraging mental health focused conversations on social media. Founded by mental health advocate and entrepreneur, Larissa May, in Brooklyn. Larissa is using her platform to encourage us to tell the other half of our story behind that apparently perfect Instagram filter. In this ep I sit down with Larissa in her cosy Williamsburg apartment, to learn about how her personal battles with mental health lead her to create #HalfTheStory, as well as uncovering Larissa's tips on creating boundaries and taking care of your mind!
