Surfing Saved My Life (SSML) is a project focused on promoting positive mental health practice for individuals in organizations and the community. SSML’s goal is to spread the message: You are not alone. There is a way forward. This project combines the lessons I've learned from my own lived experience of managing a mental health condition with my more than 25 years of professional experience in the fields of human behaviour and skills training to tell a story of hope and healing. And to give people the practical tools they need to expand their innate resilience. SSML’s three main aims are to: 1) promote informed conversations about positive mental health practice2) empower people to develop and expand their skills and ability to better manage not only moments of acute distress but the many stresses of everyday life, and 3) provide the latest information and research to educate people who experience mental health distress - whether their own or that of others.Today more than ever, we need to create greater mutual understanding and have conversations that, while not easy to have, are necessary for lasting change to occur...and for lives to be saved.
