Current resources - Extraordinary Responses in Extraordinary times!
about 4 years agoThe MHS Learning Network:
The extraordinary events of 2020 have tested the mental health community like never before. We asked for two-minute videos from organisations and individuals so that we could share your stories of resilience, learnings and hope with the wider mental health community.
We specifically asked: How did you reshape your service or personal approach to adapt and change? What has worked well for you during this challenging time?
This project was launched as part of Mental Health Month 2020 and videos will also be shown at our upcoming virtual conference in February!
By sharing our stories, we share our learnings and help to inspire everyone, and in this spirit, some organisations have opted to provide a contact email for any further questions you might have.
Many more videos covering a wide range of experiences and responses, are being showcased on our website for the rest of Mental Health Month.Quick ReplyGo to discussion -
