Fruity Lex and Mental Health Awareness

On Wednesday, Apple 98.5 FM presenters Terecia and Lachy interviewed Luke from Fruity Lex about mental health and substance abuse awareness.

Mental health is something that we should all be talking about and the more we do it the easier it will get and hopefully close the gate on the large statistics on suicide. It is a topic that can no longer be ignored or swept under the carpet as a normal part of life. At some point in our lives we all experience some kind of mental health issue from instances we endure in our life, some people handle stresses and tough situations better than others, but just because you are 1 of those that are struggling, that does not say that you are not weak you are human and there is always someone out there who is going through a tough time and struggling just as much as you, just reach out and ask for help, it is there if you reach out.

Luke has known what it’s like to be at the lowest of low points and has attempted to end his own life, but then found his way back, sought out the help that he needed to turn his life around. Luke says he still has bad days here and there but he has strategies in place to combat the dark side and has turned to his diploma in the mental health sector and is now studying drug and alcohol abuse to crossover to both aspects that usually go hand in hand with mental health issues.
