Mental Health training for Merton
It's World Mental Health Day on 10th October and Merton Citizens are encouraging members t o promote this within their organisations, either during worship, school assemblies or team meetings. This can be done at any point during the month of October. We are doing this to raise awareness of the issues around mental health and to lessen the stigma which is often attached to it.
Merton Citizens are encouraging members to appoint someone in their community to become a mental health champion. This means:
- Signing up to do training in how to signpost people, how to have helpful conversations with people struggling with mental health issues, and how to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
- Being a point person in your community who can direct people to the right services.
