This fascinating talk, given by Louisa Rose from the charity BEYOND, will explain what the charity does and how she got involved in working in young adult mental health.

Louisa will focus on breaking the stigma of seeking treatments and how we can promote healthy discussion of mental disorders. https://wearebeyond.org.uk/

The talk will give you:

• An understanding of how the charity can support young adults
• Better steers about resources available to patients
• An insight into the work of a charity that will be of particular use if you’re considering working in the Charity sector
• An understanding of ‘how attitudes to mental health disorders vary cross-culturally’. This forms part of your Clinical Psychology unit.

“There’s a huge variety of third sector and independent mental health and wellbeing support in the UK but sadly, barriers such as funding and access makes it near impossible for the education community to engage them. We’ve got a fire in our belly at Beyond and we will continue to fight until mental health and wellbeing is prioritised by the government.”
