This positive event to raise awareness and help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
Brandon Lewis MP will launch the event along with Great Yarmouth Mayor Marlene Fairhead, and Lady Dannett MBE.
There will be a wide variety of stallholders, partners and stakeholders taking part. You'll also be able to meet agencies from statutory, voluntary and business sectors, and service user and carers.
One-in-four people will experience a mental health problem each year, worries about things like money, health, jobs and benefits can make it harder for people to cope. If you are struggling then there is help available and the first step is to talk to your GP.
Norfolk is one of the first places in the country to offer online therapy to people with depression or anxiety. This is very confidential and all you need is a mobile phone or computer with internet access to receive support from an experienced psychotherapist in your own home. You don’t need to travel or even to meet the therapist face-to-face.
Date, time and place:
Saturday 11 October 2014, 11.00 – 15.00
Great Yarmouth market place, Great Yarmouth NR30 1NU
