27th January is Lewisham Great Mental Health Day 2023

Great Mental Health Day 2023 is celebrating the power of community kindness and telling the story of how weโ€™ve come together for one another across London.

In a year thatโ€™s remained challenging for many of us, it has been our communities, friends and families which have played the most important role in in getting us through difficult times together.

Great Mental Health Day is here to help get us talking about our mental health and wellbeing and to help break that stigma that so often exists around the subject. Itโ€™s also an opportunity to learn more about the great local initiatives and support services that are available right across London.

Great Mental Health Day 2023 acts as a reminder that we can all do our bit to spread hope and kindness, and to help each other.

 

Where to get help to support your mental health

We know that when times are tough, itโ€™s important that we look after our own and each otherโ€™s wellbeing.

Great Mental Health Day aims to get us talking about mental health, and sharing what we do to boost our own resilience and support those around us.

A Radically Caring Pause – 1PM โ€“ 2PM

Join us for for a Radically Caring Pause to mark Londonโ€™s Great Mental Health Day 2023.

Radical Self-Care (RadSec) is a training programme which addresses peopleโ€™s own anxiety and shame-based self-criticism, often internalised from the society and context in which we live. RadSec draws on our innate capacity for awareness and for care. The model supports people to โ€˜draw from our own strengths, just as we areโ€™, so that we are better resourced to look after ourselves and each other, allowing respect and care to affect the way we live our lives.

RadSec stands for and works from the principles of intersectionality, lived experience leadership, and trauma-sensitivity. Mental health is understood in the social context of peopleโ€™s lives.ย Find out more about RadSec.
