Mental health and wellbeing

Providing support to develop a resident-led mental health group.

The idea

Mental health is a big issue in Grangetown and so Community Gateway wants to provide a supportive, welcoming group of local people who can help promote mental wellbeing and share stories.

Progress

Mental health support was highlighted by residents as a need in Grangetown, resulting in launch of the first Mental Health and Wellbeing Day in December 2015. Delivered by Cardiff University’s School of Healthcare Sciences in partnership with local service providers, this is now an annual event that aims to provide support and strengthen and expand relationships with community members as well as providing information on local services.
