Story
In my role as a firefighter, I have become aware of PTSD and mental health issues
Running is a great way to help to cope with mental health issues. I thank Chorlton runners for giving me the opportunity to help by giving me a ballot place in the London marathon
So what better way to raise awareness of the stigma with mental health in the services and hopefully raise some money to assist in helping others on the way.
Our Blue Light CharityThe charity was formed in April 2018 to support colleagues and their families across the emergency and essential services.We want to help to enable a culture where colleagues feel comfortable talking about their mental health both at home and in the workplace. We aim to work alongside the services to:Run mental health awareness campaignsHelp remove the stigma associated with mental healthProvide training / awareness sessionsNetworking-We will be organising network events around the country to work closely with all emergency and essential service employers and wellbeing champions. These events aim to develop wellbeing activities in the workplace and share key messages around mental health. Events- We will be run events throughout 2019 such as Dance Your Blues Away, Mental Health Relay and Three Peaks walks. We value everyones support with such events and welcome suggestions from colleagues to develop future events.If you want to get involved with
