Andrew Grundell
Specialisms: Parental mental health, living with children with OCD, Eating disorders & sleep problems. Navigating CAMHS & the EHCP process, transition from CAMHS to CMHT.
Andrew didn’t ever expect to step into the Mental Health arena: but over recent years his family has journeyed through anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, attempted suicides, sectioning, PTSD and dealing with both CAMHS & CMHT.  Struggling with social anxiety and depression as a direct result of his family’s traumatic experiences. Â
Â
This gives him a unique and powerful insight and perspective into not only Mental Ill Health but also the Model and system that we use to treat and engage with sufferers. Â
Out of this was born a passion to raise awareness, break down the Walls Of Shame & Stigma that surround mental ill-health and campaign to improve the way we talk about, engage with and treat mental ill-health. He has spoken widely including TEDx Sherborne.Â
