Principal activities of the company

This year Humans Being delivered 23 mental wellbeing courses and 21 sessions for over 300 members of our community, staff and volunteers. We also delivered workshops to other local third-sector organisations, such as 'Confidence to Challenge,' 'Survive and Thrive', and 'Switch on to Women's Safety'. These included: Women Supporting Women: wellbeing sessions for marginalised women;Survive and Thrive: suicide prevention course for front-line volunteers and staff; We Will!: wellbeing skills for marginalised men; Unfolding: a short course for women who have a role supporting other women in their community; 21st Century Man: a city-wide conversation about healthy masculinity; Switch On to Women's Safety: training for staff who want to deliver active bystander workshops for men; Heads, Hearts, Hands: art therapy courses for women with complex mental health needs. We've supported a wide range of people, including voluntary and statutory sector staff, mental health service users, asylum seekers, isolated women and men, and front-line volunteers in some of the most marginalised and under-served communities in Leeds. The courses supported people who are experiencing the cost of living crisis and the huge crisis in mental health services, with record waiting lists in the sector. We worked with partner organisations, new and old, including Women's Lives Leeds, Touchstone, Leeds City Council, TCV Hollybush, the Kentmere Centre, Oblong, Live Well Leeds, BARCA, Leeds GATE, and West Leeds Men's Network.
