THE FOUNDER.

Bridget Maingi, Registered with (NMC) Nursing and Midwifery Council UK, Speciality Mental Health. Founder of “TOL Let’s Talk” We are mental health professionals, who are passionate to raise mental health awareness and to fight stigma. We deliberately chose to support our communities to understand mental illness and how to prevent becoming a victim, as mental illness does not discriminate “passion comes from somewhere” Many have suffered depression in silence for many years due to the fear of speaking out and the stigma of mental illness.

The life challenges caused me depression and I didn’t know it was an illness that required treatment. The fear could not allow me to talk, or seek help, due to the fear of being labelled “mental” Over the years in suffering, I gained self-taught coping skills that kept me going despite life challenges and trauma.

My dreams changed from the woman who suffered depression to a passionate mental wellbeing promoter, working tirelessly to support young single mothers to live mentally well and to discover their potential. At Think Out Loud Let’s Talk, we have a Team of mental health professional working tirelessly to support women and single mothers or anyone going through hard times or those suffering in silence. 

Our talks are held in various places within counties with prior arrangements. Experience comes by learning through difficult situations or life challenges in most cases. We have shared our experience that has changed lives to many. We have lifted some people who have been at their lowest, to stand again and put their lives in order. We also support families to work closely with their own children suffering with mental ill health or substance abuse.
