Being part of a community can make life feel more meaningful & enjoyable and is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. Communities can provide us with a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us purpose. So continuing on the theme of Community for MHAW which is taking place from 12 -18th May; Lauren and Nicole take on the challenge of last week's guest Mark Rowland, the Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation and do their own community audit. 

In this episode they discuss:

The elements of a healthy community




What to avoid when looking for a community




How to find a community




What communities they belong to and are searching for
