We all have mental health, yet often we ignore it unless we start to struggle. Emotional difficulties can affect anyone at any time in their life, and we believe that everyone should have the tools to help themselves and others improve their emotional wellbeing, whatever the state of their mental health.

Freedom of Mind Festival 2016 was a huge success, encouraging conversation and offering practical tools to make Bristol a happier, healthier city – and this year we’ve got even more up our sleeve. Between the 6th and 14th October, we’ll be taking a closer look at what can affect our mental wellbeing and how we can make a real, positive change to better this.

Talking about mental health doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom, and we strive to make sure that discussions at our events are fun and engaging by making them interactive. We know that mental wellbeing isn’t one-dimensional so our events aren’t either; panels, talks, films and more, there’s something for everyone to get involved.

After all that we’ve achieved at Freedom of Mind 2016, we’re really excited to get back out there and cover even more ground during this year’s festival! If you’re interested in helping out with our events then drop an email to info@freedomofmind.org.uk and someone will get back to you with more information.
