      I personally feel that it is not a very diverse career field, so it makes it difficult for people who identify in different ways to feel comfortable working and existing in these spaces.

      This year has seen a lot more people being willing to talk about diversity, inclusion, and equality/equity so that makes me feel hopeful that things will change!

    One of the main challenges I think we experience is ensuring that mental health difficulties are treated the same as physical health problems . More could be done is in terms of increased investment and raising awareness to tackle stigma and discrimination .
