#009 Ft. Pheobe Ho – TEDxUWA Speaker, Mental Health ‘Lived Experience’ Educator & UWA Honors Student

The Campus Experience with Josh Farr

Our next guest is Pheobe Ho. A recent TEDxUWA speaker, headspace mental health advocate & educator & UWA Student Guild Welfare Officer, Pheobe joins me to speak about her journey with mental health, her road to recovery, & the importance of sharing stories of lived-experience for those currently experiencing difficulty. Balancing this load while also completing her honours degree in Psychology, is no small task, so it is my pleasure to welcome Phoebe to The Campus Experience. WARNING: This podcast includes a conversation about a mental health & eating disorders. If you or anyone you know might be experiencing mental health challenges, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14, or The beyondblue Support Service who provide advice and support via telephone 24/7 (on 1300 22 4636), daily web chat (between 3pm–12am) and email (with a response provided within 24 hours). Top Quotes: “My turning point for me was when I heard other speakers talk about their experience with mental health & although they’d hit rock bottom they came out the other side in one piece.” “Recovery is possible… keep going.” “Someone had been through what I had been through & was able to tell me that it was possible.” “[Don’t] let your past experience dictate what you can achieve in the future. You have your own power to rewrite your story, and who you are, in the future. So don’t let that restrict you in terms of recovery and becoming a better version of yourself.” Resources: Follow or connect with Pheobe via LinkedIn on https://www.linkedin.com/in/pheobeho97/ Find out more about headspace via https://headspace.org.au/ 5 Benefits of Workplace Giving (supporting the value employers) - https://www.frontstream.com/5-benefits-of-workplace-giving-csr/ For more interviews with leaders like Pheobe, make sure you follow Campus Consultancy.
