For their June 2023 issue, Vogue Czechoslovakia dedicated the month of June to goodwill philanthropic initiatives, and one of the most important issues of our time, mental health. Luna Bijl, model and ambassador for Play Mental Foundation, a foundation committed to improving mental health for teens and young adults, talks about her struggles with mental health and the shame and apprehension people still have around the issue.

Luna Bijl’s cover story was photographed on an Italian farm in the province of Alessandria. Luna is also wearing brands such as Etro, New Balance, Loewe, Chanel, Federico Cina, and Chloe.

“I struggled with anxiety, panic attacks and mental health issues in general and never found the courage to talk to anyone about it or ask for help. But as soon as I opened up to others in this direction, I realized that I’m not alone and that many other people struggle with mental health problems too.”
