Last week, we had the pleasure of bumping into The Don out in the Doncaster community. The Don is part of an organisation dedicated to celebrating everything that makes the city of Doncaster special from the people, the community to the local businesses within it, so it was great to stop and have a meaningful conversation with him about the importance of mental health.

During our street interview, we spoke about a simple but powerful question of what makes you happy? The conversation was honest, open and reflective of real life. Because, as we all know, happiness isn’t something we feel every single day as our mental health can tend to fluctuate and that's okay.

This led us to talk about the importance of the services and support we offer here at Doncaster Mind to members of the Doncaster community. We shared information about our wellbeing and therapy services and highlighted our key focus for this year the incorporation of early intervention. By encouraging everyone to reach out earlier before things reach breaking point, we can offer support sooner and help them through before things get too much.
