Information Afternoons:

As well as providing information in the Centre we run monthly Information Afternoons on a variety of topics. They are run at health in mind, with guest speakers from local services.

 

Topics include: Anxiety Management; Benefits; Recovery; How to Complete an Advanced Statement.

 

Information Afternoons are all run by volunteers from the Resource Centre.

 

If people feel they might like some support to come along to an Information Afternoon they are more than welcome to bring along a companion.

 

Based on feedback we now provide some Information Afternoons targeted specifically at people who have experience of mental health difficulties and others targeted at workers.
