To collectively explore & address the connection between community & mental health in Bettws, Newport.

This is an in-person event for those working in and for the community of Bettws.

This is the first in a series of stakeholder events designed to create opportunities for connection, collaboration and collective action. Together, we will explore how we can strengthen mental health and wellbeing across the community, while also recognising and supporting the wellbeing of those working on the front line in community services, schools, voluntary organisations and public services.

This gathering brings together people who work and lead in Bettws to share what we've learned so far and to begin shaping what comes next. Over the past year, the Hope & Healing Project has spent time listening, learning and building relationships across Bettws. We've heard stories of challenge, strength, resilience and care, and we've gained a deeper understanding of both the needs and the existing assets within the community. We know that there is other really important work that is happening so we would like to invite you to come to share what you are learning too.

Whether you're from the voluntary sector, education, health, local government, faith groups, community organisations or local services, your experience and perspective are important.

Together, we can build on what's already working, strengthen our connections, and develop a shared approach to improving mental health through community in Bettws.
