Words from Our Community

  • Ashleigh, L

    "Attending the GoodYarn workshop through Southern Wellbeing Trust has helped me feel a lot more capable of talking about mental health and wellbeing with the people in my life.The facilitators made us feel really comfortable and welcome, and made it feel normal to talk about things that are usually taboo. “

  • Claire, X

    ‘it's like doing an emergency first aid course, you hope you never have to use it, but it's such important knowledge to have in your back pocket and to be able to share. When it comes up it is a shock but also a relief to be able to know what to do, to be able to make a difference in that moment and to have a resource and some experience of talking about it to call on'

  • Sunitha, X

    “I have started using the knowledge from this program to give support to people that are in need around me. Overall, I think that Good Yarn is a great project, and it will be very useful for everyone to attend and experience it”
