Bristol Wellbeing College\u2019s Wellbeing Caf\u00e9\u00a0sessions launched in September 2016 and have been making a difference to people\u2019s lives for a decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To mark the anniversary, 30 clients came together with Second Step staff members and other professionals who have supported the caf\u00e9 over the years to celebrate, share stories and reflect on what the sessions have meant to them.<\/p>\n

Ben Lilford<\/strong>, who runs the sessions and organised the event, said: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been 10 years. Listening to clients talk so positively about the caf\u00e9 was truly heart warming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sessions take place in a public caf\u00e9, giving people with mental health diagnoses the opportunity to experience everyday life alongside peers and members of the public, without the support of mental health professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the pandemic, we have welcomed more than 400 different people to the weekly sessions, with almost 5,000 attendances between them. The sessions have helped people find work and get involved in community activities, as well as, most importantly, develop long-term friendships and support for one another through life\u2019s highs and lows.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
