This week again as been exciting. Meeting councillor Bobby Dean led me to talk to 2 Mental Health companies, asking if they would endorse this website. With endorsement, it makes this venture more official, making it a viable service to offer to other services to get the message out there.

While writing the emails, I came up with an idea, a QR sticker, which could be placed in the first aid cabinet or on the Fridge, which, when scanned / photoed, would open the website, showing local services. Placing in the cabinet or on the fridge means, it is available at the times you may need it most. What are your thoughts? let me know. Sorry its a short update, and with that, have a good weekend. If you dont, I trust you know where you can find the support you need.

Listening to people, I have added a new listing to the website, there is now carer.mymentalwellness.uk where I have started to list services aimed at carers. Too often, carers are overlooked, having to ensure the wellbeing of the person they are caring for, in its self can be stressful.

There are many services which are available, but its another, if you dont know the right person, then you dont know what is available. This is getting better with the Mental Health Champion scheme in county councils, and social perscribers, but again, if you dont know about them, you dont know.

I'm tring to decide, should I make these just more offical updates, or should I still waffle on and tell you about them, I'm leaning towards the waffle version.

So, on the website, your notice a + symbol next to the section title, this allows you to add Help, Crisis Cafe and Drop in services yourself.

The Recovery Colleges are all in the system, and just need allocating to the correct area.

This is where I need your help. To be able to add all the services I have listed, to the correct areas, I need someone from that area to visit the site, to add the area. I could add an area manually, as I have acess to over 4 million area names. The issue here is, I depend on the area returned by your IP address when you connect to the internet. If the area listed manually is different to what is provided automatically, then it wont match up and display the local services.

Please share this website to everybody you know, and lets get the word out there that there are free services available.
