My Travel Story

by: Kieran Sidhu Start Date: Jan 28, 2019 - End Date: May 27, 2019
Hi everyone!

This summer I have been given the opportunity to travel to Bali, Indonesia for 4 weeks to undertake a Mental Health Placement. 
The aim of my placement is to promote positive mental health through education, stigma reduction and outreach. I have been given the chance to improve the psychological wellbeing of individual's where mental health resources are scarce, aswell as being able to learn about mental health treatment in a different culture. 
During this amazing experience, I'll be working in Indonesian psychiatric facilities with a range of mental health difficulties, and with children in schools, teaching English to aid personal development and provide them with better future prospects. 
As a Psychology student with a passion for helping others, I am so grateful to be given this learning opportunity which will provide me with a valuable skillset which can be transferred throughout my career and advances me to provide psychological support for people globally, which is a goal of mine. 
 
I would appreciate any donation that will help support my placement in Bali allowing me to be a part of the mental health team where I can support service users in under-privileged areas. Thank you in anticipation of your support!
