For music festivals, sporting events, regional shows, corporate events, local fêtes, pride events, marches, etc., across the East of England.



"The importance of receiving mental health support is the key to helping a person avoid a life of suffering."



Introduction:

Thank you for looking at my website. Wearing a green sweatshirt and a green Hi-Viz safety vest, both with MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT on the back, whether just for a few hours, or continuously across a few days, I provide mobile mental health support patrols for music festivals, sporting events, regional shows, local fêtes, pride events, marches etc., alongside a signposting service where attendees to your event can then seek further guidance, help and advice if needed. I am also able to source a marquee, chairs, tables etc., for static support, as well as other mental health trained professionals should you require more than one person.

Duties:

  • Patrolling your event engaging with attendees, listening to them, talking about positive mental health.
  • On site mental health crisis and wellness support.
  • Liaising with event organisers, security, Medical First Aid, emergency services etc.
  • Signposting for attendees needing further information e.g. groups, charities, organisations / local, regional and national etc., where people needing or seeking further specialised professional guidance can go for more help.

Costs:

  • £25.00 per hour for corporate and commercial events. Minimum 2 hours.
  • £17.50 per hour for Community, Charity and Not for Profit events. Minimum 2 hours.


Rates can be negotiated for full day / weekend events.


If you are an event organiser anywhere across the region, and wish to offer mental health and wellbeing support for your attendees, please contact me for further details.

Poetry for Mental Health

At the outbreak of COVID, I formed, (and have been running it voluntarily ever since!), Poetry for Mental Health ; helping people cope mentally by inspiring them to write poetry. With around one thousand visitors from around the world each and every month, I have helped and supported thousands of people through words and poetry. Poetry for Mental Health is now probably the largest and most visited website for poetry and mental health on the net!
