Alice- founder and creator (she/her)
Alice Rose (aged 18), is the founder and creator of alices.positive.boxes, which was established in July 2020. Alice is currently studying level 3 preparing to teach, in a SEND secondary school. She started making positivity packages as she is passionate about helping other people. She has been trained by Bucks MIND to be a “mental health peer mentor”. Here, she is able to offer advice and guidance to younger students who may be having issues with mental health, or may just need some general help and advice. In her spare time, she enjoys photography as well as sewing. As well as this, she has 2 guinea pigs (called Angel and Smokey) who she enjoys spending time with.
Why did I start this project?
I started this project because I am passionate about mental health, and I love helping other people. I believe that more needs to be done to end the stigma around mental health, but also to support young people who may be experiencing mental health issues. I created my own non-profit mental health organisation in summer of 2020 and have sent over 1800 free care boxes out so far, as well as around 150 free positivity letters. These positivity boxes are available to those who may be struggling with mental health related issues, as well as those that feel as though they need a positive pick-me-up. Furthermore, people are able to nominate people to receive a box, who they feel could benefit from a positive box. Boxes can be customised and adapted to suit any age, gender, or need.
