On Tuesday July 8 2014, John Minto (Managing Director of Gede) and Marion Aslan (Founder of Elemental Wellbeing – www.elementalwellbeing.org) met in Doncaster, UK, to discuss the innovative way in which Elemental Wellbeing has addressed mental health awareness and training in The Gambia. As regular readers of Gede’s blogs will know, the Foundation is currently working on raising awareness of mental health issues across a wide range of organisations and, within this process, we are reaching out to others who have had significant success in other settings. John’s UK visit will also see him meet with a range of major mental health agencies and blogs will update readers on his meetings in due course.
