In the clip below, you can hear Anne Beckett-Allen discuss the importance of good mental health and building resilience with Park Radio host Chris Moyse.
In the clip she discusses her own experiences of poor mental health as well as the stigma and misconceptions attached to it. Alongside other resources, she recommends the website Headtalks.com which is full of helpful resources for adults, young people and children. Its aim is to:
‘Inform, inspire and engage those interested in mental health and wellbeing. [You can] find people speaking from the heart and from their own experience, as well as a wide range of experts and healers sharing their tips and insights to help us work towards better mental health and wellbeing.’
Rosedale Training delivers Mental Health First Aid to give people the skills to intervene when people may be approaching crisis point. There are several courses throughout the year with one starting in January. Please look here for more information.
