While many of us will struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives, for the majority, with the right support and treatment, we will make a full recovery. Most of our mental health system is based on this assumption.  But for a sizeable minority of the population living with an incurable mental health condition, the picture for mental health support is very different, and often insufficient. Â
Having strong relationships that give a sense of love, belonging and acceptance is important in our lives. We spoke to some members of Guideposts’ Community Mental Health Hub at Henry Smith House, who told us why their friendships are so valuable.
the Guideposts community completed their Global Challenge, with 69 participants and a dog contributing steps, stomps, wheel rotations, and trots to a grand total of 21,989.5 miles, the equivalent of travelling all the way around the world.
