Supporting Volunteers with Mental Health Needs
Great seminar run by the London PACT on Volunteers with Mental Health Needs yesterday, some good background info plus best practise & a chance to network - always useful! Apparently there will be a training pack in due course, one to watch out for as I'm sure it will be useful given 1 in 4 people with have some form of mental health distress at some stage. I'm sure I wasn't the only one wondering how many of our volunteers currently fall into this category. Someone suggested setting up a discussion group on i-volunteer to build on this, so if you're interested keep your eyes on the groups page.
Happy Friday!
