Love From Future You | Mental Health Week

By Alan Bennett

Love from future you, what advice would you give for mental health awareness week - HeadStuff.orgThis is a great idea dreamt up by Cassie Delaney and Aoife Price. For mental health awareness they basically get people to write a letter to themselves, telling the younger version of themselves the advice that they think they would have liked to have heard. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and all, but this great idea makes it a useful thing too.

Watch the video below and head over to their website and see if you can help out in any way.

What advice would you give a past version of yourself? This video is a collaboration of all the Love From Future You letters received in August & September of 2014.
