Very proud to support the ‘Men’s Mental Health’ conference in Hereford on the 20th January 2025. We set up a stand and were able to share the good work of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Wellbeing and Recovery College, meeting many of the other organisations there to support the event. I even got to have chat with the Mayor of Herefordshire on how he is helping to support local charities to grow and support the men of Herefordshire.
There was some brilliant speakers at the event, all with ‘lived experience’ of poor mental health, suicide, and how men need to be more included in the birthing process and support for the family when a little one does arrive. The event was very well supported by both organisations within Herefordshire and by local councilors.
It was genuinely pleasing to see how much work is happening to raise awareness of the impacts of mental health on the Men in Herefordshire, especially the farming community. I look forward to next years event to see how the plans discussed come to fruition, building on the already amazing work that is happening.
