OCTOBER 25 - LETTER FROM PRIMHE
The following is a letter from Dr Chris Manning, explaining a little about Primhe - the charity who I'm raising money for...
“We all have a brain and sometimes it gets sick when the parts of it that deliver our mind (or ‘mental’ function) break down.
1 in 4 of us can expect that to happen at some time in our lives. The chances are that if this doesn’t happen to our own brain it will happen to the brain of someone else we know, love or care for. Even if we don’t get mentally ill as such, most of us are familiar with how we feel when we are stressed and the methods we use to cope with it (both healthy and not so healthy).
Primhe stands for Primary care mental health and education.
The charity works with people like GPs, pharmacists, nurses and people who design health care services, to help them to understand what is now known about the brain and its mental functions and what works best for us all when we, or those we love, are ill.
To do all this, Primhe has a website, produces journals and educational and training materials and meetings. The charity also lobbies hard for the importance of proper funding for people who are ill and the setting up of all sorts of facilities in communities (eg. exercise, self-help books in libraries, mindful employers who care for their staff) that keep us mentally healthy. Primhe has over 1000 supporters nationally and is now in the 5th year of its operation.
Primhe is extremely grateful to Chris Thomas for dyeing for Primhe!
Please give him all the support you can on his bearded mission to help the charity make a difference to the quality of life of thousands of people with mental illness in this country.
Very Best Wishes and Take Care of Your Brain!”
Dr Chris Manning, CEO Primhe
Dr Ian Walton, Chair of Trustees
