Sign up to an online event organised by Thrive LDN and Good Thinking to mark Great Mental Health Day 2023.

In a year that’s remained challenging for many of us, it has been our communities, friends and families which have played the most important role in in getting us through difficult times together.

Great Mental Health Day 2023 is celebrating the power of community kindness and tell the story of how we’ve come together for one another across London. The aim of the day is to get us talking about our mental health and wellbeing and to help break that stigma that so often exists around the subject. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about the great local initiatives and support services that are available right across London.

A Radically Caring Pause – 1PM – 2PM

Join us for for a Radically Caring Pause to mark London’s Great Mental Health Day 2023.

Radical Self-Care (RadSec) is a training programme which addresses people’s own anxiety and shame-based self-criticism, often internalised from the society and context in which we live. RadSec draws on our innate capacity for awareness and for care. The model supports people to ‘draw from our own strengths, just as we are’, so that we are better resourced to look after ourselves and each other, allowing respect and care to affect the way we live our lives.

RadSec stands for and works from the principles of intersectionality, lived experience leadership, and trauma-sensitivity. Mental health is understood in the social context of people’s lives. Find out more about RadSec.

Ikebana Workshop At 2PM and 4PM

Come and join a relaxed, hands-on workshop which uses the power of nature to boost your mood and appreciate the wild and wonderful art of ikebana.

The ancient art of ikebana was originally intended as a way to use flowers to communicate stories and it is still used today as an effective tool to connect your hands with your mind to find flow while appreciating nature.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about a few of the modern interpretations of ‘ikebana’ or ‘giving life to flowers’ and have the opportunity to create your own art to represent yourself or express your thoughts.

We’ll be facilitating two 45-minute workshops during Great Mental Health Day, at 2PM and 4PM. This is a very interactive session and places are limited. Register here
