Speaking out for mental health

A mental health charity for the Intellectual Property community

About us

Our charity was set up in 2017 in memory of Jonathan McCartney who tragically took his own life that year.

We aim to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues and to empower people to speak up and reach out for help when they need it. We work closely with organisations to raise awareness and support them to develop better mental health and wellbeing practices in the workplace.

You can find out more about our work here, and if you would like to support us with a donation or fundraising initiative, we would be very grateful.

Do get in touch if you have any questions or feedback, and thank you for your interest. Together we can make a difference…

Exam Revision Reset workshop: why organisations choose this workshop - Managing Pressure, Protecting Wellbeing, Building Confidence

“I'm not the only one.”

Donna Smith, Training and Development Lead at Jonathan's Voice, recently led a workshop at Potter Clarkson LLP entitled Exam Revision Reset. Practical ideas were explored - how to build a sustainable revision routine, evidence-based revision techniques, and why seemingly small decisions can make a real difference. But perhaps the greatest value came from the trainee attorneys recognising that struggling doesn't mean you're failing and that others feel the same. It means you're navigating a demanding stage of a professional career alongside others who understand exactly what that feels like. Conversations unfolded and the realisation dawned that they weren't the only ones finding exam periods difficult and there was a collective sense of "I'm not the only one."
