To support this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we hosted
an event to help people to unwind and feel less stressed on Wednesday 16th
May.
We enjoyed various relaxing activities and games like jigsaw
puzzles, dominoes and even a few rounds of Rota; a game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe that
was played by the Ancient Romans including the famous poet Ovid.
We also had arts and crafts activities including drawing, colouring mandalas and
Some of the artefacts which people had access to are from the time of the Ancient Romans, the Middle Ages, and the Victorians. It was a lot
of fun trying to guess which pieces belonged to which era, with some surprising
results.
We hope you are feeling a little less stressed and have
enjoyed the day as much as we have.
Our next event for Mental Health Awareness will be a Break The Stigma Open Day on Saturday 26th May which aims to address the discrimination surrounding mental health. Find out more about the Break The Stigma campaign here
