Join us and help break down the stigmas of mental health among our senior friends and family with Azure Beach’s human library event Looking beyond No matter how old you are, depression and anxiety can affect you, however the stigma attached to these illnesses often prevent people from seeking help, especially senior members of our community. Because of this, we at Azure Beach would like to use this Mental Health Month to raise awareness of the issue through our human library event. Joining us will be 8 volunteers from the human library organization, who each have their own story to tell of their mental health journey. During the event, these human books will be available to borrow in order to share their unique experiences as well as answer questions about their lives, and journey with mental health. We hope that this event can break down the barriers that have been built by the stigma around mental health and allow others to see that no matter what help is always available. When 9th of October 2023 Start: 11.30am
Finish: 4pm Where Azure beach public library courtyard Booking at Azurebeachlibrarybooking@email.com While this is a free event, please book ahead to secure a spot.
As this is a mental health event, please be aware that some topics will be confronting and that this is a non-judgmental space.
