Over 25 residents from East Harling have been trained to be Community Mental Health Champions as part of a training scheme offered through the Breckland ‘Mindful Towns’ program

The scheme is led by Breckland Mental Health Community Partnership, which includes Breckland Council, Wellbeing Norfolk and Waveney, Norfolk and Waveney Mind, and YANA - the rural mental health charity
 
Now fully trained the community mental health champions will be able to spot mental health concerns within people in the local community, and signpost them to other support. Participants can also now supplement their learning with optional follow-up developmental opportunities, including networking with other community champions to ensure best practice is being delivered across Breckland.
