As a tireless campaigner, supporter and advocate for everyone experiencing mental health problems, the team behind the York Unlimited campaign thought Stephen Fry would be the perfect person to invite to speak with Professor Christina van der Feltz-Cornelis about the University’s efforts to improve mental health and wellbeing in many forms, reaching out from the University to the city's communities and beyond.
The York Unlimited campaign is aiming to transform mental health on a local, national and international scale, through supporting on the ground initiatives and the latest groundbreaking research and we will be sharing some exciting news next week regarding our brilliant new plans for The Great York Walk 2021 event.
As Stephen says, "it's always important to remember it's always OK to ask for help".
