British Forces Gibraltar Mental Health Week took place last week with the aim of  raising awareness about mental health within the BF Gibraltar community. 

A statement from British Forces Gibraltar follows below: 

Several events took place throughout the MOD estate over the week, and included 1-1  Coffee and Chat sessions where key personnel were on hand to get advice from. There was  also a number of roadshows designed to inform people of the various resources that are  available should they (or others) require support now or in the future. And, on World Mental  Health Day, BFGib arranged a number of activities for the younger members of the  community as part of An Introduction to Mindfulness for Children event. 

The week was deemed a huge success. The next step will be to form a Mental Health  Committee which will continue to raise awareness and will aim to improve the mental health  of the community as a whole.
