We and Hestia celebrated a rousing and thrilling Mental Health Celebration at the fabulous Hall at the Brent Civic Centre on Friday 18th May with friends who experience mental health problems, our partner agencies, local councillors, MP Dawn Butler, our fabulous volunteers and mentors, our commissioners from Brent Council and Brent CCG and members of the public. Stress and how to cope with it was the main theme of the day and we certainly managed our stress on the day with a host of activities including flash mob exercises with Maggie, massage, the popular Cricklewood Choir, an excellent lunch provided by Sufra Food Bank, Mayhew Dogs Trusts, Body Percussion from the Kiln Theatre and much more. We were delighted to see our mentors supporting by Tania – our Mental Health Mentoring Project Worker - presenting their project Thanks to our partners Hestia with whom we co-produced the day and we look forward to many more of these fun and important events, a platform for people with mental health problems to design and deliver the kinds of support systems that help them, help all of us to have positive mental health.
