South Tyneside Talking Therapies Supporting PRIDE 2024
South Tyneside Talking Therapies mental health teams are preparing to join the return of South Tyneside Pride in August and will be spending National Pride Month raising awareness of the work they do to support the LGBT+ community.
The team offer a free and confidential NHS service for people aged 16 and over who are registered with a GP in South Tyneside. Talking Therapies provide a range of psychological therapies to help you feel better if you’re anxious, depressed, stressed or worried.
The team offer information courses, therapy groups and one-to-one therapy.
The Talking Therapies team will be hosting a service information stall during the pride event and would be great to see you and members of the community on the day. There will be information about our services, advice and signposting as well as freebies and fun to be had.
South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust works throughout the year to support patients and runs its own Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Plus (LGBT+) Staff Network for its workforce.
Throughout June, the Trust will also be working to highlight the support available to staff and patients and raising the Pride flag across all hospitals sites.
The Trust encourages staff to be allies through its Rainbow Badge pledge scheme and runs awareness training, is a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme.
South Tyneside pride will feature entertainment, various LGBT+ safe zones, information stalls, and market stalls across as well as a series of satellite events, with the event to mark 52 years since the first Pride march took place in the UK.
During last year’s Pride, our Talking Therapies mental health teams continued to support the campaign working alongside a range of services across the region to support the public attending the amazing Pride events.
