Save the Date: The Next MHFA Exchange Is 23 October

Mike Lawrence hosting The Exchange — a free live online wellbeing session for MHFAiders, wellbeing leads, and managers to reset and recharge before MHFAider Day.

Whether You Joined Us or Couldn’t — You’re Welcome at the Next Exchange

Hi Reader,

I hope you’ve had a chance to slow down since World Mental Health Day earlier this month. It was a powerful reminder that those who support everyone else need time to recharge too.

And with MHFA England’s MHFAider Day just around the corner — 12th November — there’s even more reason to pause and reconnect.
(MHFA England recently shared details on how MHFAiders across the UK can get involved and celebrate the impact you make every day 💚).

So before the pace picks up again, I’d love to offer you an hour — just for you.

The Exchange is back — a free, live 60-minute online reset for MHFAiders, wellbeing leads, and managers who hold space for everyone else.

You’ll discover:
💭 Practical wellbeing strategies you can use immediately
🤝 Shared lived experience from others who truly get it
💡 Compassionate best practice that helps you keep caring — without burning out

🗓 Thursday 23rd October 2025
🕓 4:00–5:00 pm
💻 Free | Live on Zoom

And suppose you’re ready to level up your leadership in this space. In that case, my Mental Health Skills for Managers course has just been updated with new real-world case studies, live scenarios, and practical frameworks aligned with MHFA England’s latest guidance.

Feel free to share the link with a colleague, friend, or someone exploring MHFA. And if anyone you know is considering training or refreshing their skills, I’m happy to help guide them.

Warm regards,
Mike Lawrence
