The Faith and Mental Health network welcomes pastoral visitors, clergy, chaplains, mental health practitioners, community volunteers, in fact, anyone who is supporting people who are struggling with mental health issues. The theme of the May 5th meeting is grief and we will be joined by Anne Embury, Suicide Liaison Lead at Outlook South West (Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust).

On this anniversary of the first lockdown Bishop Sarah explores themes around mental health in the light of the pandemic.

Mental Health is an increasing issue that we are facing within our communities, and we are looking to form a network for church and faith groups to offer them support in this work. A chance to share ideas and to find out about training opportunities and how we can best support our communities.
