Please vote for New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College and all the great work they do.

This year for the HPFT staff awards, the New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College team were nominated for six awards and shortlisted for five; including outstanding team of the year award, improvement and innovation of the year award, rising star awards and unsung hero's awards. We are humbled that our unique team received so many nominations from our students and experts by experience.

We are thrilled that Jeannette, our Lead Tutor/Deputy Manager, won the highly commended award for being a rising star! She began in the college as a student and joined our student development programme. As an expert by experience she applied and was successful in becoming a tutor, and then the lead tutor and deputy to the college manager. This award is well deserved and the college team couldn’t be happier for her win. She is a shining example of how anyone, no matter where they start in their personal recovery journey, can achieve great things! Congratulations to Jeannette from all of us in the college

September is Su***de Prevention Month

At Viewpoint, we believe that listening matters.
You don’t need to be a mental health professional to make a difference. Sometimes giving someone your time, listening without judgement and being willing to have an honest conversation can be incredibly important.

If you’re worried about someone, don’t be afraid to ask how they are and, if needed, ask directly about su***de. Asking does not put the idea into someone’s head — it can give someone the opportunity to talk about how they are really feeling.

You don’t need to have all the answers or try to fix things. Listen. Be curious. Take what someone says seriously. And help them connect with the support they need.

Viewpoint provides peer support, connecting people with others who have their own lived experience of mental health challenges and understand the importance of being heard and understood.
If you or someone you know needs support, find out more about Viewpoint and what we offer: https://www.hertsviewpoint.co.uk/

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

This September and beyond, let’s make time to listen.
