We hear from Lyn at Growing Links about local, sustainable food systems that support mental health. Richard chats to Lucy from Cornwall Mind about all the upcoming events in September.

⚠Trigger Warning - This post talks about suicide. This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay we're focusing on changing the narrative on suicide. Our language can cause unintentional harm and reinforce stigma. That’s why how we talk about mental health is so important.

By starting these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support. Start the conversation today.
