Discover 2020 – Pandemic Stories – Carrie 1

 

A look back at the high and lows of the past year.  Here Carrie enjoys the peace and quiet of the first lockdown.

2020 will be a year forever remembered for a Pandemic that changed the world, that challenged the mental health and wellbeing of us all.  This terrible virus caused our country to be placed in lockdown and life as we knew it came to a stop.  The Discover 2020 project has recorded personal stories of those who experience mental health distress, living in lockdown to create an archive of experience for future generations.  Being able to see life through their eyes, means we can learn from these personal stories to shape and improve mental health services in the future.

18 weeks in, Michael and Carrie look back on the early days of lockdown as a time of peace and quiet.
