Diwali Halloween
This month sees World Mental Health Day
on 10th October. With the day light hours
drawing in as the Summer comes to an end,
it can feel a touch of the Winter blues, but
what if it’s more than that?
You are by no means alone, approximately 1
in 4 people in the UK experience a mental
health problem in a year*. Talking about
how you feel can help, why not host a Tea &
Talk event and start to banish the stigma
around mental health problems?
