Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Mind is highlighting the vital role of community in supporting mental health and wellbeing.
The charity issued a statement on the importance of Mental Health Awareness week, which starts on Monday:
'At SWR Mind, we believe that connection, kindness, and support can transform lives. Whether you're reaching out for help, offering a listening ear, or taking part in local activities, every small action contributes to something bigger.
This year’s theme focuses on the strength we find in each other and how community can boost mental wellbeing every day. We are encouraging everyone across Scarborough, Whitby, and Ryedale to get involved, start conversations, and experience the power of coming together.
To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, SWR Mind is hosting a series of public events designed to open up discussions, build connections, and promote positive mental health.'
