Turning Point Talking Therapies are bringing together local wellbeing services, community organisations, professionals and residents from across the Wakefield District to raise awareness of mental health support, reduce stigma and encourage positive conversations about wellbeing.

Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from a range of speakers, including local leaders, community partners and people with lived experience of mental health challenges. The programme will feature presentations, panel discussions, personal stories and insights into local mental health initiatives, as well as contributions from the Deputy Mayor of West Yorkshire and the Mayor of Wakefield.

Visitors can also explore a community marketplace featuring more than 50 organisations and services, offering information, advice and support to help people on their mental health and wellbeing journey. Alongside this, there will be opportunities to take part in arts and crafts activities, engagement sessions and co-produced work, helping people connect, share experiences and contribute to shaping local services.

The event will also include dedicated quiet spaces for reflection, opportunities to meet the Turning Point Talking Therapies team, and live entertainment from the Turning Point Inspiring Recovery Band.

World Mental Health Day provides an important opportunity to challenge stigma, increase understanding and highlight the importance of seeking support when needed. Whether you are looking for support for yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in learning more about mental wellbeing, we encourage you to join us.
