Mental health social inclusion project

From Alistair

An ex-Cambridge School teacher, Fiona Oates, has set up a project to help people recovering from serious mental health issues access English classes.  Here are her comments about the project:

It would be great if you could show the promo video and send the leaflet to your teachers:

This first push to generate awareness is so important for our initiative and of course for a group of people already at great risk of social exclusion and who experience a great deal of stigma on a daily basis.

The closing date for the Mental Health Friendly lesson plan competition is 6th June and the task is to design a 45 minute lesson for a general adults English class, that talks about mental health.
