YMCA Mental Health Sessions On The Yorkshire Coast

Monday, 15 May 2023 06:00

By Charlie Hopper

To mark health awareness week, the YMCA are urging people on the Yorkshire coast to connect by having meaningful conversations with friends, colleagues and the wider community. 

The theme for Mental Health Awareness week is anxiety and the 'Small Talks, Big Difference' initiative is in place to hopefully raise awareness of mental health and the stigma surrounding it. 

The YMCA's General Manager - Liam Downey- hopes that the small talks will have a big impact on the community. 

Tea Talks are opportunities to just have a drink and small talk with volunteers. They also have staff on hand to signpost people to further support if they wish.

Tea Talks are taking place:

  • Monday 15th May 2023 – Eastfield Library – 10am-1pm
  • Tuesday 16th May 2023 – Bridlington Community Hub – 10am-12pm
  • Wednesday 17th May 2023 – YMCA Scarborough – 10am-1pm
  • Thursday 18th May 2023 – Whitby Pavilion – 10am-1pm
  • Friday 19th May 2023 – Filey YMCA Shop – 10am-1pm

Liam Downey says that they are looking for volunteers to help out with the sessions. 

Sessions are free of charge.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
