To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, (14-21 May), BHT’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Services organised a peer-led Discovery Walk on Thursday 17 May.

Focusing on the theme of stress, a gentle three mile walk along the seafront and through St Ann’s Well Gardens was led.  Walkers took part in mindfulness-based activities and grounding techniques designed to reduce stress, the walk also provided the opportunity to connect with others and discover beautiful outside spaces.

BHT’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Services work throughout Brighton and Hove, in outreach and within their centrally located office in North Street.
