Campaign idea: Katie turned to creative writing
After sudden panic attacks derailed her life after university, Katie found a way forward through volunteering and creative writing.
This story
After finishing university, Katie experienced daily panic attacks and memory loss that left her unable to work. Volunteering helped her rebuild confidence and discover coping strategies to manage her anxiety over two years. She returned to studying and went on to run peer support and creative writing groups with Solent Mind. She also turned to writing poetry for her own wellbeing and published her first collection.
What your brand could do
Host a poetry reading for Katie and provide copies of her collection for everyone in her creative writing groups.
