On behalf of Cllr Jim Dickson and Cllr Marcia Cameron (Joint Cabinet members Healthier Communities), we are inviting you to attend the Lambeth Supporting People’s Emotional Wellbeing Workshop to celebrate Great Mental Health Day 2024 on Friday 26 January 2024 (10 am to 12 noon) in Room 16 at Lambeth Town Hall. Tea and Coffee will be provided.

Great Mental Health Day is an annual celebration of initiatives in London that help people keep a positive mental wellbeing, talk about mental health, create a platform to highlight the great support available and crucially, take the stigma out of asking for help when needed.

We recognise the great diverse work our voluntary and community sector do to support our Lambeth residents. We also know that many of the people they are in touch with are struggling with, or at risk of, poor emotional wellbeing. We would therefore like to mark Great Mental Health Day in Lambeth by acknowledging the role of the VCS in contributing to building resilience in the community and in people’s lives. We are organising an event that will bring the Lambeth VCS together to connect with each other, and to equip them in being able to support the emotional wellbeing of the people you serve more effectively and signpost to the right help when needed.

We hope that by attending the workshop you will leave feeling more confident about supporting the emotional wellbeing of the communities you work with. It will also be a good opportunity to network with other voluntary and community organisations in the borough.

 Please also share this event with other organisations in your networks.
