Healthy 'n' Happy to host community event in Rutherglen
The June 13 workshop is part of the charity's 'Creating Hope in our Community' initiative
A busy local charity is hosting a special event as part of its 'Creating Hope in our Community' campaign, dedicated to positive mental health and suicide prevention across Cambuslang and Rutherglen.
Healthy 'n' Happy Community Development Trust is inviting residents and community representatives to the June 13 workshop with expert Louise McSharry of Penumbra's self-harm network, who will lead a session on supporting people who have issues with self-harm.
It follows the success of the organisation's previous campaign event in November, when they arranged a special showing of 'moving and uplifting' film The Low Road, joined by director Stephen Mulhearn and producer Sophie Marsh.
The latest event takes place at the Number 18 venue on Rutherglen's Farmeloan Road on Friday, June 13, from 10am to 1pm, when visiting guest Louise will run an informative workshop and host a question-and-answer session.
Healthy 'n' Happy executive lead Mark Soanes said: 'We'd strongly encourage Cambuslang and Rutherglen residents, community groups, charities, statutory services and businesses to come along, so we can all work collaboratively to improve mental health in our community and provide vital support.
'You can all be part of this much-needed and important movement, to make a huge difference to you and the lives of those around you.
'Louise is very well versed on many topics surrounding mental health and has an amazing insight into this important will also have updates on useful upcoming training and will discuss best practice for promoting good mental wellbeing.'
