Over 40 participants attended a recent mental health awareness event to help reduce stigma and promote available support, with particular attention to men and Black communities.

Joanne, our Wellbeing Advocate, introduced the health checks service and described the various referral pathways, while attendees engaged in interactive drama, discussions on mental health at work and addiction, and talks on community support.

The session encouraged open dialogue, reduced stigma, and reinforced the importance of well-being, prevention, and continued community partnerships.
