Mental Health Mates Bathurst

Welcome to Mental Health Mates Bathurst. We are a peer support group running walks in Bathurst and Blayney once a month. There are over 150 walks in the UK.

Mental Health Mates is a volunteer led walk that originated in the UK. The first one was led by Author Bryony Gordon in 2016. Mental Health Mates Bathurst was created from a strong desire to help those struggling. I wanted to create a space that was safe for people to come and talk without fear or judgement. To help people when they need it most.

9 people die by su***de each day. That's 9 too ma

ny. 644, 600 report having Suicidal thoughts in a 12 month period. That is a lot of people that need help. If you are struggling with thoughts of su***de message me. You are not alone. I would like to be able to help people when they aren't doing so well. if you need support and don't know how to find help or just want to talk message me.

🌟 Accessing Support During the Christmas Period 🌟

The holiday season can be a joyful time, but it can also bring challenges. Remember, you are not alone, and support is available.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out. Here are some ways you can access support:

Talk to a Friend or Family Member: Sometimes, just having someone to listen can make a huge difference.

Mental Health Hotlines: Many organizations offer 24/7 support. Don't hesitate to call if you need someone to talk to.

Online Communities: There are various online forums and communities where you can connect with others who understand what you're going through.

Professional Help: If you need more support, consider talking to a mental health professional. Many are available even during the holidays.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me. Your mental health matters, and there is always someone ready to support you. 💚

Take care, and have a peaceful holiday season! 🎄✨

Our Next walk in Bathurst is on the 22nd December at PCYC at 10am.
Come along to our Last walk of 2024. The Idea of continuing walks right up to Christmas is so that people who need support can come along. We all know that Christmas can be hard. For some people this is not a good time of year, they may not have very good memories of Christmas or maybe this is the first year without someone. Whatever the reason feel free to come along and walk. Talking is optional.

I hope to see you there!!
