Hi everyone,

I think i've probably introduced myself on here in the past but i thought i would do a little refresh.

My name is Kat, i'm 24 and i've had mental health problems my whole life really. I've had treatment on and off for about 10 years but these days i manage my illness mostly with peer support (on great forums like these!).

I now work for the NHS (previously worked for YoungMinds and the Royal College of Psychiatrists) trying to raise awareness about young people's mental health & improving services.

I've done some work with TheSite and YouthNet before including making a short film about Mental Health and employment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zI003z-s1uU

YouthNet have asked me to take part in the next Live Chat on Anxiety and i'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully i will get to chat with some of you there but in the meantime if you have any questions please feel free to ask :)

Kat
