On Friday 8th February 2019, 9th Worthing Scouts welcomed Louisa from Coastal West Sussex Mind, who spent the evening talking to the Scouts about Mental Health, and combatting some of the stigma and perceptions around the subject.
The Scouts then spent some time thinking about Mental Health in Scouting – designing some badges and discussing some questions surrounding Mental Health. Scouts were given plenty of resources to then take home with them to refer back to and spark some conversation at home on the subject.
Scouts and Leaders all left the evening having learned lots about Mental Health.
A massive thank you has to go to Louisa for running the excellent evening for us. More information about the fantastic work that Coastal West Sussex Mind do can be found on their website – https://www.coastalwestsussexmind.org/, including details on training avaiable and Mental Health support.
