These are unprecedented times, the pandemic has impacted everyone and raised the pressure on our must vulnerable.
Mental health problems are often invisible to even our closest friends and family and many have found out too late the destruction it can bring.
The People's Place will be an invaluable community asset for our brothers and sisters who need help and the sooner it is built, commissioned and helping people the better!
The People's Place will lift the lid on the taboo subject of mental health and encourage people to talk more freely and openly when they are experiencing problems.
Promoting positive mental health and encouraging conversations about mental health will help improve the health of individuals.
This is important as improved mental health is associated with a range of better outcomes for people of all ages and backgrounds including improved physical health and life expectancy, better educational achievement, increased skills, reduced health risk behaviours, reduced risk of mental health problems and suicide and higher levels of social interaction and participation.
