Last week, the Employment & Recovery Services marked Mental Health Awareness Week (9th – 15th May 2022) alongside many of our Trust colleagues, out in our communities.
With this year’s theme of Loneliness, the week kicked off with a Community Inclusion event, connecting colleagues from services across the Black Country, and presenting some of the great resources we have to offer in combatting loneliness and isolation through our Let’s Talk project.
A three-day event at the Mander Centre in Wolverhampton brought together our IPS, Retention, Thrive into Work, Let’s Talk and BBO colleagues from Employment & Recovery Services – sharing information about our services and learning from the many providers there.
Leia, from the Thrive into Work Specialist Service, said: “Another successful day at the Mander Centre. Lots of interest in the service and discussions regarding what help and support we can offer, with the additional bonus of meeting other employment teams and organisations to work in conjunction with, to provide the best support we can for those who require it.”
The Retention team had a busy week promoting Mental Health Awareness, also attending an event at Aston Villa in collaboration with the Kuumba Centre. All the teams thoroughly enjoyed being out and about in our communities, offering support and raising awareness about mental health and loneliness.
