About our Mental Health Connectors Network

The Mental Health Connectors Network (MHC) is a free to join information and networking group with regular webinars and events. The Network is free to join for all those who have taken part in our mental health training and mindfulness courses.  Please contact us if you’ve registered to join the network but haven’t undertaken any training with us, so we can help you become a MHC.

The network has been introduced to enable individuals to benefit from the opportunity to receive information about Norfolk and Waveney Mind events, regular newsletters and access to a network of peers, other Mental Health Connectors and Mental Health First Aiders. 


 

 

What is a Mental Health Connector?

Being a Mental Health Connector isn’t an accredited role, and doesn’t intend to make its member’s feel they need to provide mental health support in any formal capacity. A Mental Health Connector should not replace any, more formal support that a person may need.

We aim to support you to:

  • ​feel more confident to “Connect” with people who may need a listening ear
  • help people feel more hopeful about their situation
  • raise awareness around mental health and challenge stigma
  • feel more resilient to help people, in your work or personal lives, know where to go for support

 

 

What to expect from the Network

Many of Norfolk and Waveney Mind’s services operate working to a research based framework called CHIME (Leamy et al 2011).

CHIME stands for:

  • Connected
  • Hopeful (and Optimistic)
  • Identity
  • Meaning
  • Empowerment

 
Being part of the Network will help understand more about CHIME and we plan to base our activities throughout this year, on the model.

This first stage, is us Connecting with you, and introducing you to the network; what it’s for (and isn’t), what to expect, what’s planned, and how you can get involved
