Join us to celebrate our community
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week from 12-18 May and this year’s theme is ‘community’, so we’re inviting members of the public and colleagues to join us for a range of events, to celebrate the incredible communities that we are part of.
We will be holding events throughout the week at our hubs and drop-in spaces, including activities in our hubs and launch events for our new services in West Dorset and North Dorset.
Join us to find out more about our services and the work of the amazing partners that we connect with in our community. You will also have a chance to enjoy some refreshments, and contribute to our very own community quilt!
