This week on Messie Minds, we’re joined by mental health advocate and founder of Mind Blank, Ally Kelly.
We dive deep into her powerful journey from lived experience to launching a nationwide charity focused on suicide prevention and early mental health education.
Ally shares how creative tools like theatre and storytelling are being used in schools and communities to start life-saving conversations before crisis hits. We talk about the importance of early intervention, breaking the stigma around mental illness, and what real support looks like — especially for young people.
⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses suicide and mental health challenges. Please listen with care.
