I have been considering the importance of Mental Health and how this impacts ourselves, from a holistic point of view. This includes family relationships, friendship circles, how we see ourselves, how we think about ourselves, and this can also impact our work relationships, and abilities for our job.

More than 130 million babies are born in the world every year. Arriving in their own unique setting including social, economic, and cultural circumstances. Some (those of whom are fortunate) are welcomed with gratitude and joy, cradled in the arms of their ecstatic parents and family. Others may experience rejection from a mother who dreamed of a different life, crushed by the pressures of poverty or a father caught up in cycle of abuse.
