For this year’s World Mental Health Day (10th October) in Gateshead we are aiming to “promote positive steps towards protecting mental well-being for everyone�.
This is in line with the international theme of WMHD which focuses around building awareness of mental health issues.
In order to promote positive steps towards protecting mental well-being we would like to offer a ‘market stall’ event and a selection of tasters for anyone to try on 10th October.
I am a Staff Nurse in A&E at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. We would like to use World Mental Health day to raise awareness of issues in mental health.
As you will understand, we frequently see patients who have overdosed or self-harmed in other ways, but refuse referral to mental health services.
Do you have any leaflets, posters, etc we can collect from you ?
