PGR mental health workshop: Mental Health and You (in-person)

Mental health does not discriminate. Anyone can experience mental illness, no matter their sex, race, sexual orientation, or other defining characteristic. This workshop covers groups experiencing a higher prevalence of mental health problems including people from different race and sexual orientation backgrounds.

Understanding the reasons why some groups might be more vulnerable than others can aid the creation of inclusive environments as well as the identification of people around of who might need extra support. Find out ways in which your everyday environments can become more welcoming for people from every walk of life.

Attending this workshop will provide you with actionable steps in understanding the challenges that people from certain groups face and the measures that you can take in order to reduce those challenges.

Spaces for this workshop are limited and tickets will be available to book from 1 March 2023.
