WHAT DO WE DO?
Our team aim to improve people's knowledge of self-help when it comes to dealing with mental health. We all have mental health, it is something that can change and sometimes further support might be needed. The time it takes for people with mental health conditions to get help is far too long. We work on various levels trying to bring solutions to these issues. With our wide clinical base consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs and mental health nurses. We work to give people the tools to improve their mental health through workshops and ambassador programmes, we don't just go in, deliver a workshop and then leave. We educate, empower and propel change where many of the people we work with go onto implement mental health initiatives in their organisations.
We work to increase access to mental health-related careers. We work with Edge Hill University to encourage people to work in mental health fields. Their students complete 120hr or 48hr placements with us where they can learn about mental health and wellbeing, work with schools and community organisations and learn about pursuing a career in mental health. We are integrated into their curriculum and aim to provide a wonderful training package.
We also work with celebrities and influencers to help promote positive mental health online. They work with us to educate their followers on preventative strategies to improving mental health as well as where to go if further support is needed. Our founder was awarded the Diana Award - the highest accolade a young-person can achieve for humanitarian action as well as the Point of Light Award from the Prime Minister, Rt Hon. Boris Johnson in 2020.
