Our blog

Learning about mental health empowers us to improve our wellbeing and quality of life; it helps us to understand the experiences of others and know how to support them in a compassionate and effective way. If stigma around mental health goes unchallenged, it can discourage people from seeking help when they need it most.

As we near the end of the year we wanted to reflect on some of the amazing moments and significant achievements from the past 12-months. Thank you to all our staff and partners whose hard work and dedication has made all this possible.
