Idea
The Lily-Jo Project is an award-winning online mental health resource, designed to help individuals help themselves.
Currently The Lily-Jo Project has information, practical top tips, expert advice, stories of hope, recommended resources, blogs, interviews and more on the following topics; low mood, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, grief and loss.
Mental ill health can be isolating and scary. The Lily-Jo Project is a safe place for individuals to visit online where they feel less alone. The site encourages the individual to learn about what they may be going through, hear from others who have experience within that but who are further along their healing journey, and then start their journey of wholeness.
