For Charly Cox, poetry has always been a way of expressing herself. Since she was 15, she’s used it to document her mental health struggles, and now as a full-time writer and poet she is an ambassador for the charity MQ Foundation and uses her experience to further the conversation around mental illness.
In this episode of Talking Tough, Charly and Georgia chatted about the importance of destigmatizing mental health and how Charly’s work so poignantly expresses the coming-of-age of a young woman surviving the modern world.
