TalkBack - Autumn 2019

In this edition, we place an emphasis on prevention – understanding the causes and development of mental ill-health.

Highlights

World Mental Health Day 2019

This year, the theme is suicide prevention and we are proud to share that our suicide prevention work in Scotland has taken a crucial step forward.

Mental health in the workplace

Over the last year, we have trained more than a thousand corporate managers with our PRESUME training – our mental health training programme focused on equipping managers to support good mental health in the workplace.

New projects: KidsTime Family Workshops and Comhar Men's Groups

We have launched two new projects in England: KidsTime Family Workshops, focusing on supporting children and families affected by parental mental illness, and the Comhar Men's Groups, aiming to deliver self-management courses for Irish men in mid-life. We have also included updates on how our projects in Wales and Northern Ireland are progressing.

Tea & Talk

This year, our biggest community fundraising initiative, Tea & Talk, celebrates its 10th anniversary. One of our supporters shares her reasons for hosting it for the past 9 years!
