The Men’s Building Resilience project, funded by the Department for Health and Social Care, is a collaborative initiative aimed at improving mental wellbeing and resilience among men, including refugees and asylum seekers, and individuals bereaved by suicide. We are working in partnership with Islington Mind and the Camden City Islington Westminster Bereavement Service (CCIWBS), leveraging their expertise to enhance the project’s reach and effectiveness.
