Conwy Half Marathon · 19 November 2023

I CAN is a new campaign to improve the support available to people with mental health problems in North Wales.

Story

Not every illness is visible.

1 in 4 adults experience mental health problems or illness at some point during their lifetime

Theres been a steep rise in the number of young people in North Wales who self-harm

9 out of 10 people with mental health problems experience stigma and discrimination

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in North Wales

The numbers say it all.

Mental health problems have the potential to affect each and every one of us, and their impact - as well as the associated stigma - can be devastating.

I CAN is being led by a coalition of people who are committed to bettering the range of community support services available while helping to tackle stigma and encourage open conversations about mental health.

People who are Independent, Contributing, Active and Networked enjoy better mental health and wellbeing. They have more resilience, enabling them to face lifes challenges and say I CAN.

On the 19th of November 2023 I’ll be attempting to run the Conwy Half Marathon in order to try and make a difference. If you are in a position to, please donate to this worthwhile cause.

Diolch!

Stevie
