MHAGRs' history
MHAGRs' history
The idea of MHAGR was first discussed by our then chair Harriet and vice-chair Rebecca towards the end of 2012. They had been working alongside the Make A Difference group for a few months with the aim of getting action taken on the Bromsgrove Highway bridge where two men had tragically lost their lives that summer, sadly already a location where others had previously taken their lives. They both felt, whilst continuing to support Make A Difference, there was also a huge need in the borough for a focus on mental health as a whole. They decided to host a meeting at the end of May 2013 and invite along members of the public, as well as organisations with an interest.
To their delight more people attended than expected, all of whom had their own story to tell. It felt like a real step forward in terms of the stigma surrounding mental health, something we are determined to do our bit to erode. The evening highlighted the gaps in mental health awareness, provision and resources. It made them all the more certain a group needed to be formed in order to be a voice for people with mental health issues who are some of the most vulnerable in our town.
