These events provide a great opportunity to not only find out about the work of Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and their partners, but to also help challenge the stigma associated with mental health.

Beresford Dawkins, Community Development Manager, said “Our engagement days are an opportunity for people of all walks of life to join us for a fun packed day, and to find out more about mental health and the support services that are available. We look forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be a great day.”
