We had a great time on Wednesday, where we were joined by over 30 people to celebrate many of the mental health self-help options available in Manchester. With the public spending cuts casting a dark cloud over statutory service provision, we wanted to celebrate all the wonderful community, voluntary and social enterprise groups out there that can provide us with help and support. For us, self help isn't about being on our own, but about having ideas, inspiration and practical help to help us help ourselves.
There was a great buzz in the room all afternoon, thanks in no small part to our stall holders Rethink, The Ann Lee Centre, Self Help Services, Anxiety UK, Making Space and Partners of Prisoners . One attendee remarked how useful it was to find out about all these organisations.
We also had a wonderful Tai Chi demonstration from the Wai Yin Chinese Women Society, who proved that age is no barrier to grace!
The free massage and self confidence booster sessions were fully booked and by the relaxed faces afterwards were thoroughly enjoyed!
We have some photos from the event - once they're downloaded we'll put them up here for you to see.
