Rachel Buckeridge
I am a practising artist. I have suffered from Depression and Anxiety since childhood. While I have been able to access good treatment for my conditions, I have watched in despair as friends with schizophrenia have had not received the support and treatment that they needed. I have seen the effects of homelessness combined with psychotic illness, and am very keen to help Habilis address these problems.
