East Riding of Yorkshire Council launches free mental health support programme
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is offering free mental health workshops and peer support groups to residents aged 18 and over ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
Workshops and social groups available
The Wellbeing for Us programme provides face-to-face workshops covering topics like managing anxiety and stress. Informal peer support social groups are also being held to help residents build confidence and reduce isolation. These activities take place in towns including Withernsea, Hornsea, Bridlington, Beverley, Driffield, Pocklington, Goole and Hessle.
Drop-in sessions at specific sites
Drop-in sessions are currently operating in Goole and at Lelley Fields Crematorium. The council states that more informal peer support groups are planned for the future. Participants can access wider support through community organisations, NHS referrals and other health services.
