Town Talk Mental health
help evening SNODLAND Medical Practice Patient Participation Group is holding an information evening for parents, carers and anybody who would like to know more about mental health problems. Dr Rebecca Prince, from the
practice, said: “We are seeing an increasing number of young people with emotional difficulties who need support. “This evening is being pro-
vided byMIND to help recognise and support children’s and peo- ple’s mental health needs. Our aim is to help these young peo- ple by early recognition and in- tervention.” John Stockham, chairman of
the PPG, said: "We see in the media nearly every week where a mental health problem has af- fected a young person, often with catastrophic results. “This evening will give an in-
sight into how to recognise such problems early and what to do about it.” The event is at Snodland Com-
munity Centre at 7pm on Wednesday, June 26.
