Happiful awarded PPA Independent Publisher’s Award for Consumer Magazine of the Year and Podcast of the Year, for I am. I have.
Following the annual PPA (Professional Publishers Association) Conference for Independent Publishers on Friday 8 November, Happiful was delighted to be named Consumer Magazine of the Year and Podcast of the Year, at the association’s award ceremony.
Rebecca Thair, Editor of Happiful Magazine said; “We are absolutely thrilled to have been named Consumer Magazine of the Year at the PPA Independent Publisher’s Awards.
“Everything we do is about helping people find the help they need - through sharing their own stories or reading the experiences of others. So many of our readers and contributors have supported this mission, and this award is for them too.
A big thank you to the PPA, the whole Happiful team - every contributor, every therapist and every reader of the magazine. We appreciate your support and promise to continue to discuss mental health in a way that supports others and seeks to eradicate any remaining stigmas.”
Lucy Donoughue, Happiful Head of Content and Communications, and Host of I am. I have said: “It’s such an honour to receive these two awards from such a prestigious industry association. Everyone at Happiful is so committed to producing content that helps others, so to receive this recognition is wonderful and only adds to our passion for continuing to create and grow a supportive and inclusive community.
The podcast has been a wonderful way for us to explore the fact that mental health is something that we all have - but it doesn’t define who we are. I’d like to thank all of the guests and therapists that have chatted with us so far, for their honesty and openness to share the highs and lows of their life experiences.”
