Hello, my name is Parvin, and I am honoured to be a member of the Mental Health Network. Mental health has really been quite an important aspect in my career and I've always worked towards addressing inequalities in health, and mental health being a very important part of that. I have an NHS and local authority background, and I hope that my contribution to this network will be helpful in making Southampton a mental health friendly city.

I know all too well that impacts of poor mental health can't just switch off in time for work, and that work can sadly be the cause for poor mental health. I have benefited from healthy workplaces too, and I know how it can help people thrive. I am passionate about supporting the amazing work of the SMHN and making this beautiful city even more mental health friendly.
