Improving peoples lives…
Beyond medical
Beyond medical looks at alternatives to the medical approach to improving mental health and wellbeing; changing the question that underpins mainstream mental health services from “what is wrong with you?” to “what has happened to you?”.
Tackling Stigma
Is there a stigma around the topic of mental health? Have you experienced it? Find resources and support here, as well as tips, to help everyone have a healthier attitude to mental health.
Five ways to wellbeing
The Five Ways to Wellbeing are a set of actions which are known to promote people’s wellbeing. Doing these simple activities every day at home or in the workplace can lead to improved mental health.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
All people will experience a range of different mental health responses throughout their lives and talking about them can be beneficial. Discover ways to open up through CBT and help others to better understand.
Lived experiences
Lived experience is your personal knowledge about the world gained through direct, first-hand involvement. Find out how to use your lived experience to help shape, plan and deliver a mental health service that puts people first.
Recovery
Every individual’s mental health recovery experience is different. Explore a range of recovery options from learning or sharing to finding support.
