International Women's Day is next week. Ahead of this I spoke to Better Homes and Gardens about why female friendships are so important. You can have a read of the article here!

I am lucky, I personally have lots of amazing male and female friends in my life. So thanks to all my friends past and present for the love you've shown me.

In my professional life I know that for clients social support in the form of friends is a good protective factor against the onset and worsening of mental illness. So don't forget to give your friends a call or a txt and remind them how much you care!
