| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity has managed to offer its services to different groups within Leeds UK area. The Charity undertook 7 workshops to date. The Charity Trustees who are professional mental health practitioners volunteered to deliver mental awareness and promotion workshops with diversified groups including asylum seekers and refugee population residing in Leeds UK, from Ukraine, east Africa and Afghanistan and Iraq, black and ethnic minority groups, and other wider population groups including in churches and university groups. In these sessions the residents of Leeds, have benefited from getting psychoeducation about mental health, noticing the signs of mental ill health, implementing self-help strategies, and how to contact mental health and support agencies and services in Leeds. We believe that this has benefited the residents of Leeds to enable them to improve their mental health by encouraging them to engage in low-cost self-help mental health promotions activities like taking walks, increasing social contact and maintaining value-based activities. Furthermore, we believe that this has a positive effect in reducing overdependence on primary and secondary care mental health services when residents are maintaining good mental wellbeing. |
