Another brilliant day of collaboration in action
Huge thanks to the L30 Community Centre for hosting and filling today’s training with local families, to Local Solutions for funding the programme, and to Freedom to Flourish for stepping in and making it truly accessible.
You know when you’ve got a great idea, but miss a potential challenge? That was me! After the first session of our Mini Medics Mental Health training for families with children aged 7+, it quickly became clear that some families couldn’t attend because they didn’t have childcare for younger siblings.
That’s when true collaboration shone through 💡
My amazing friend Clare Marsh, founder of Freedom to Flourish (and a finalist in the upcoming MIB Awards 👏), stepped in without hesitation. While I delivered training to parents and older children, Clare created a beautiful emotional wellbeing session for the younger ones — ensuring no family was left behind.
💚 This is what community-led, family-first mental health training looks like.
💚 Real needs, local solutions, and partnerships that make it work.
