Marta Dusseldorp: If Only I Knew... | Your Mental Health

Marta Dusseldorp writes a letter to her younger self. #YourMentalHealthAU
What do you know now that you wish you knew earlier in life? For the ABC’s Your Mental Health week, some familiar faces have written a letter to their younger self about some of the mental health challenges they faced growing up.
Designed to enlighten, empower and inspire their ‘younger self’ by passing on some advice from their older, and sometimes wiser, point of view.
From 5-11 July, in partnership with Lifeline and Kids Helpline, ABC will shine a light on mental health and wellbeing to help those struggling with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, bushfires and drought.
Need help? You can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 (they're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or text with them nightly (6pm to midnight AEST) on 0477 13 11 14.

What a wonderful outreach. A year on a boat to reach the beginning of your new life. Amazing and leaves me wanting to know more. Thank you, Marta.

Touching to hear you addressing the young Marta and sharing with us past happy moments of your life in a light way, remembering what was and in a way inviting us to count with our own selves to surmount this terrible moment
