We’re so excited to announce that will be joining the Mind Buddy team as our first ever ambassador 🎉🎉🎉
Here’s a few words from April…
“Hi guys, my name is April. And I am super excited to say that I am joining Mind Buddy as the very first ambassador!! I first met Chris through which is an amazing charity, for which I am also an ambassador. Both Mind Buddy and the Hike with Mike Foundation bring together like-minded individuals and groups who truly understand the importance of supporting peoples mental health and well-being through hikes and other activities. Being so passionate about good mental health and learning more about the great work that Chris is doing, I started to attend several activities and it was an absolute no brainer when he asked if I wanted to be an ambassador to grow the community.
So a little bit about me and why I live and breathe all things mental health. I’m 38, was lucky enough to marry my best friend last year and have amazing family and friends around me. I have a great job as an occupational therapist and love hiking, running, bouldering and snowboarding to name just a few hobbies. Despite all of these amazing things, I have anxiety and take sertraline to help me keep mentally well. Alongside medication I engage in a variety of activities that support my mental well-being, including things like meditation and mindfulness. Through my own mental health journey I am aware of how important it is to understand what helps keep me well and how valuable it is to help others engage in activities that support their own mental health. Mind Buddy has allowed me to try new things in a safe and welcoming environment. And I just love this chance to help Chris reach far and wide to help others and continue to arrange new and exciting events for people to try.”
