Just days away — The Exchange is this Thursday

Hi Reader,

In just a few days, we’ll come together for The Exchange — and I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has already signed up.

It’s always a joy to reconnect with familiar faces and welcome new ones into the conversation.

🗓 Thursday 31 July​
🕓 4:00–5:00 pm (Zoom)​
🎟 Free to attend – click the image to register

This isn’t a webinar. It’s a practical, peer-led session for MHFAiders, Wellbeing Leads, and anyone exploring MHFA.

Together we’ll:
✔ Share what’s working — and where we’re stuck
✔ Reflect on updates from MHFA England’s new CEO, Sarah McIntosh (shared at a recent event I attended)
✔ Explore how we support ourselves and others — especially when headlines feel dismissive or divisive

On that note, you may have seen this recent piece:

Wherever you stand, it reinforces why spaces like The Exchange matter — to listen, learn and lead with empathy.

Bonus resource: If you’ve not yet seen MHFA England’s latest video, it’s worth a few minutes:

Please feel free to forward this to someone who might benefit.

Warmly,
Mike

P.S. You don’t need to speak. Just being in the room can shift something — for you, or someone else.
