Public Health Devon is committed to supporting initiatives that promote ‘better mental health for all’ across the county – promoting positive mental wellbeing and building resilience, challenging stigma around poor mental health and suicide, and creating opportunities for earlier intervention and support for those who may be at greater risk of poorer mental health.
An important part of the change needed to achieve this is upskilling individuals, communities and workforces to build both knowledge and confidence in having conversations with others about mental health and wellbeing, as well as looking after our own mental wellbeing.
