- 14 podcasts were produced with CamGlen Radio, highlighting local mental health and suicide prevention initiatives, to support local people. Listen below
- 9 training workshops have been delivered so far on suicide intervention, self-harm and mental health first aid
Over the next 2 years, we will continue to deliver Creating Hope in Our Community, building on what we’ve learned so far, to better support our CamGlen community….
