Healthy Heads Mental Health Team Supporting PRIDE 2024
Our Community Young peoples mental health team are preparing to join the return of Sunderland Pride in June and will be spending National Pride Month raising awareness of the work they do to support the LGBT+ community.
The Healthy Heads Team is a Mental Health Support service based in Sunderland who provide brief, low intensity, evidence-based support for mild to moderate mental health difficulties. The team support schools in developing their whole school approach to ensure that all the children, young people and staff work together to understand and support mental health and well-being.
The teams will be hosting a service information stall across the pride events 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.
Sunderland 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 Sunderland Community 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.
