Lambeth marks World Mental Health Day with a free event from Healthwatch and free suicide awareness training.
World Mental Health Day takes place on 10 October every year. National and local organisations and groups organise events and activities either on the day or in the days surrounding it, putting a spotlight on the importance of mental health, support available for people and things people can do to protect their mental health.
As part of Lambeth’s commitment to community health and providing joined up health and care at neighbourhood level, Streatham Primary Care Network (PCN) and Streatham AT Medics are holding a Health and Wellbeing Fair for the Latin Community. Find details of time and place below:
