Services in Kingston you can get access to during #WorldMentalHealthDay
The theme for World Mental Health Day this year is to 'make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority'.
World Mental Health Day is a day for reflection and discussion about mental health in general, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to talk about things and get help if you are struggling.
Loneliness has a big impact on our mental health. We crave social interactions – to feel connected, appreciated, and acknowledged. Many people who experience loneliness may benefit from local resources here in Kingston.
We’ve compiled a list of mental health charities that you can get involved in, including free online and in-person events.
Mind in Kingston
Mind Kingston is an independent charity that currently has free online and in-person drop-in sessions for you to join.
