Six-minute read. Guest post by Jessica Thompson, Counselling Psychologist in/from Kingston, Jamaica. Happy Monday everyone, this very informative and engaging #mentalhealthmonday post comes courtesy of Jess whom I was delighted to meet two weeks ago vis-à-vis JAMHAN.

Author’s note: Greetings readers! I’m coming out the block right away with a declaration that this post is more of an open letter to myself (and anyone else who needs encouragement) about my experiences in the first half of 2015 and the lessons I’ve taken from them. Hopefully it can inspire someone, or at the very […]
