Mareva Pearse wants to remove the stigma surrounding mental health
In today’s society we often try to ignore and hide unpleasant and difficult situations. We want to come across as “fine” to the world. But it can be a dangerous and isolating cycle. Which is why my guest this week is extra special.
Mareva Pearse had an idyllic childhood. She spent a number of her early years sailing the high seas with her family. Eventually they settled in this remote paradise which is North east Arnhem Land. But as life often pans out - things can get tricky and she was faced with a number of significant hurdles. Luckily for her resilience and with the support from her family – Mareva confronted these hurdles head on – and continues to do so.
Something I really admire about Mareva is that she chooses to see the positive. Not only has she become stronger – her experiences inspired her to speak up about mental health publicly. She’s established a support group on Facebook and recently started her own radio show – right here on Gove FM.
Mareva is just so passionate about helping people – it was an absolute honour to sit down with her for a chat. So kick back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode of North East Arnhem Land with Mon.
