** January 2022
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello from Sarah!
Dear friends,

We hope your year is off to a good start. We at the Centre are committed to continuing the fight for equality in mental health in 2022. Do have a listen to our latest podcast ([link removed]) and read our impact report ([link removed]) to hear about the difference our research and influence is making.

We’re delighted to share a new piece ([link removed]) from our writer in residence, Amy Pollard, where she unpacks helpful attitudes for navigating a psychological crisis. The piece is full of practical and tangible ideas – do let us know what you think.

There’s still time to get involved in our fundraising campaign! If you’ve set yourself a new wellbeing goal for 2022, why not raise money for mental health at the same time? Get involved by setting up your fundraiser ([link removed]) today.

Wishing you all the best for the year ahead,

Sarah
