We’re running monthly mental health sessions for people in Whitefield or Prestwich.
My mind and me sessions are led by mental health professionals alongside special guests, covering a different topic each month.
These are a welcoming, informal, and relaxing space to learn news skills and understand more about your emotional wellbeing, how this can impact your mindset, and how to make this as strong as possible.
All sessions are held at Uplands Medical Practice, Whitefield Health Centre. You are welcome to join if you are aged 18 and over and have a GP in Whitefield or Prestwich.
Please email pcn-tr.mymindandme@nhs.net to reserve your spot, as space is limited.
