“It’s ok not to be ok”
Surrey Orangery are honored to support the “Grace Dear Trust”
Every 40 seconds someone in the world takes their own life
75% of mental illnesses start before a child reaches their 18th birthday and 50% of mental health problems in adults take root before the age of 15. Many young people struggle to understand their own feelings and don’t know how to talk about them. This can lead to them suffering in silence, without the help they need. We want to change that and let young people know ‘it’s ok not to be ok’.
The Grace Dear Trust believe’s that the treatment available for those suffering with mental illness is severely limited because of gross under-funding, and there could, and should be more effective approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment. By helping to change this, the Grace Dear Trust hope that other families might avoid the unnecessary and tragic loss of a loved one in the way that the Dear family experienced.
The Grace Dear Trust is a mental health charity we set up after the Dear family lost their daughter and sister, Grace, to suicide aged just 27 in February 2017. Their aim is to help save the lives of other young people suffering with mental health issues. Grace had been suffering with depression and anxiety from the age of 13, but hadn’t felt she could reach out to anyone to help her make sense of her feelings.
Not knowing why, she suffered in silence for many years. Eventually when Grace spoke out the family tried to give the best help possible, but unfortunately it was too late.
