Let’s Talk – An EHRS Mental Health Initiative

The EHRS Adult Wellbeing Support Group started in 2023 and provides a safe space to talk about feelings and experiences or find comfort in listening and supporting others.  We have an understanding that this is not a therapy group – it is a regular confidential facilitated space offering containment, shared support and conversation.  We welcome new participants by referral.  Please contact Val Joseph.

If you need help with more specific advice and support please contact us at letstalk@ehrs.uk
If you would like to speak to a mental health trained volunteer on a confidential 1:1 basis, please contact us at letstalk@ehrs.uk

‘Let’s Talk Mental Health and Social Media’
EHRS held an online forum with mental health experts discussing the impact of social media on mental health. The expert panellists included mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin MBE, Ian Russell of the Mollie Rose Foundation, Louisa Rose CEO of Beyond and a young person concerned that her peers do not seem to understand the impact of using social media in a negative way. Addressing a number of issues regarding the negative use of social media on mental health, the panel discussed how we can educate, support and protect ourselves and our young people with their online activity and suggested steps and tips that can be taken to do this. This zoom event was organised by the EHRS Let’s Talk mental health working group and received positive feedback with participants asking for more events like this, especially with a focus on a young person’s only event and how to achieve better male participation.
