Ways of getting involved in Mental Health Awareness Month.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as you know the Ajuda team are very passionate about raising awareness of mental health and supporting people to become more knowledgeable in supporting others.
A large portion of our work at the Cardiff office is focussed around not only providing award-winning Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid courses, but also organising successful and popular live events in Cardiff where we welcome thousands of people.
There are plenty of other ways of getting involved in Mental Health Awareness Week.
