Games night highlights mental health support

MORE than 100 people took part in a games night in Sheffield to mark World Mental Health Week.

The Rethink drop-in service in Sharrow hosted the event which encouraged friendly competition in pool, table tennis, darts and dominos among adults who use city services.

Mental health problems are more common than many people realise as at some stage of their lives one in four people will have affected.

Ben Hague,Community Mental Health Worker, at Rethink said: “Games night was one of many events taking place in Sheffield and across the globe to continue raising awareness for the common, but often misconceived issues surrounding mental health.

The night was a success with a competitive but good-natured evening produced by the competitors and organisers alike.”
