News from NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough communications & engagement team.
I wanted to get in touch to ask for your support in helping to raise awareness of our new NHS ‘Feel Brighter’ campaign that aims to reach out to older people aged 65 and over, who may be struggling with their mental health but don’t know where to turn for advice, support and to find out what NHS services and support are available locally.
The campaign aims to encourage older people who have symptoms such as anxiety, loneliness, or low mood to reach out and access free NHS Talking Therapies and other support to help them feel brighter again. Activity also aims to reach out to family, friends and carers of an older person, who hasn’t been feeling themselves recently and would benefit from accessing free support like NHS Talking Therapies. Local people can find out all the information they need on the campaign website www.cpics.org.uk/feel-brighter.
We would welcome any support in helping to raise awareness locally within your local communities and have attached an easy-to-use communications toolkit that includes:
- copy that can be used on websites or newsletters
- social media posts
- images
There are also posters and leaflets available (example attached). If you would like any copies please let us know and we will send these out to you. They are also available to download too.
If you would like any further information, or additional resources please do let me know.
Thank you for your support with this important campaign that we hope will help improve the lives of many local people aged 65 and over.
