We kicked off Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2022 with a special event – An evening of mental wellbeing activities at the brilliant HideOut Youth Zone in Manchester.
Thanks to a very generous donation from our partners at AJ Bell, we were able to raise awareness of Stop. Breathe. Think mental health service amongst young people in the North West of England for Mental Health Awareness Week 2022.
Over 100 young people from the Greater Manchester area came through our doors for the evening, some visiting us from neighbouring youth organisations. There were plenty of fun activities in place including a ‘worry-free zone’ with access to one of our professional counsellors for a quick 1-2-1 session, a ‘mood smoothie’ making sessions in the kitchen, graffiti art with local artist Wilf, and all of the amazing facilities at the HideOut Youth Zone including the climbing wall were open for the evening.
After an amazing evening, everyone in attendance at the event were given ‘Little Bags of Wellbeing’ to take home with them, which included some sweets and other treasures to remind everyone that Stop. Breathe. Think is always here to help.
We want to say a special thanks to AJ Bell, our partner, who generously donated to Stop. Breathe. Think and helped us to make this incredible event come to life.
