How can Peace of Mind help?

The Peace of Mind Project seeks to address some of these issues by giving community members the skills to help each other.

By educating ourselves we can support our family, friends and loved ones by recognising when the people we care about need support and help through difficult times in their lives. 

If we can recognise early signs of emotional or mental distress and feel confident in our ability to help, we can support our friends and family in their journey to recovery.
