The BME World Mental Health Partnership group invites you to join them to celebrate World Mental Health day on Monday 4 October 2010.
This is the sixth year in a row that we have organised the celebration
of World Mental Health Day for BME communities in Leicester. (The
partnership group includes Adhar Project, Savera Resource Centre,
Leicestershire Libraries, and Workforce Development Unit -Leicester
City Council).

Each year the event aims to raise awareness of mental health issues within the BME communities and to empower service users and carers with relevant knowledge, support and information. The event is a rare
occasion where service users, carers, providers, policy makers, health
professionals and politicians can discuss mental health issues
together. The day allows for people from the community to directly
place their concerns and opinions to the people that make the decisions.

This year the theme of the day is “Fun”. We all have universal right to live a fun filled and happy life. On the day there will be Mehndi, alternative therapies, guest speakers, entertainment by service users,
games, a fashion show (open to all to participate with prizes for the
best dressed) and other activities throughout the day.

Theme of the day: ‘Fun’
Time: 10am to 3.30pm
Venue: Belgrave Neighbourhood Centre,
Rothley Street (off Belgrave Road), Leicester

The event is free to attend but places must be reserved in advance. A vegetarian meal and refreshments will be served free of cost.
