How To Help

We are an online-based non-governmental organization that focuses on helping people struggling with mental illness and those around them, to communicate and connect with people, and maintain and repair relationships. H2H is run by Roisin Bean and Alina Poo, from England and Canada, respectively. Both of  us have struggled, and still do, with mental illness, and it can often be an isolating experience. We want to allow those who also struggle, to connect, and find support and advice. As for the friends and family of those with mental illness, it can be just as difficult to deal, and cope. It’s hard for everyone involved, and advice, even just knowing that you’re not alone, can be a major help.

We became friends during October 2017, and have been close friends ever since. Our friendship started with light, topical subjects like our different school systems, and as we built time and trust, we began to share more about our issues, particularly mental health ones. We occasionally gave each other advice, on how to cope and repair damaged relationships, which is where the idea for H2H came from.
