I was recently asked by the founder of the new AntiNormality Club to suggest something that might improve mental health services in the UK.

I hiked the Grand Canyon with a few girlfriends this past summer. Returning to my ordinary life as a wife and mother of three young children, I noticed that my emotional health had significantly improved beyond what I expected.
