The project is designed to comprehensively address the participants' mental health and well-being needs through a multifaceted and person-centred approach.

These sessions will equip participants with practical tools to navigate daily challenges, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional resilience.

They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.
● Objectivity - act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.
