Tyla May Memorial Fund

On 11th November Tyla May (previously known as Natalie Tyler) sadly lost her life at only 21, after a battle with mental health. The specific condition Natalie had is called personality disorder.  It is a condition that very little is known about and very little specialised support is available. Tyla May felt safest in hospital and was unable to access any psychological therapies beyond acute and community NHS provision. Whilst these services helped her recover from acute crisis, there was very little psychological therapy or sustainable support for her ongoing recovery.  Tyla May struggled to access any meaningful formal support outside of immediate crisis to enable her to recover. 

We want to raise money for charities (and if possible research) to improve care services for people with personality disorder- to address stigmatisation and the lack of available psychological, recovery-focused support outside of acute hospitals. We also want to give Tyla May the send off she deserves and reduce some of the burden her parents and family are currently dealing with.
