Mental health – it is a broad and complex topic. Our curate at Trinity Churches Charlotte Gompertz recently led a training session, ‘Mental Health First Aid’, a national course, at the Trinity Centre to better equip colleagues on the subject. With a background in psychiatric nursing Charlotte has first-hand knowledge and experience of supporting those struggling with mental health. With this issue affecting people from different backgrounds and different ages, directly or by supporting someone, it is becoming ever more important for people to know how to approach this taboo subject and to give them confidence to ask the difficult questions when necessary.

The Diocese of Lichfield are also promoting a course called ‘Lifting the Lid’ which looks at characters of the Bible and mental health.
