Hollistic health, centred on inner wellness
A Dara Knot Wellness blog

About My Mental Health Awareness

My Mental Health Awareness was founded to offer extra resources for people looking for mental or holistic support.
In this fast paced, always on world, where isolation and instant gratification often live hand in hand.  Our team decided to found both this blog and Dara Knot Wellness, teaming up with other organisations such as Wise and Bi-polarbears to find diverse voices to help people find their way.
