Talking Therapies bringing Valentine’s cheer at Coventry Central Library
With free chocolates being the highlight of the day, Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Talking Therapies hosted an informational session at the Coventry Central Library from 12-3pm on Wednesday 14 February 2024. Billed as a ‘Chat & Cheer’ for Valentine’s Day, the Talking Therapies team used the time to share information about the mental health service while chatting with members of the public and giving away additional Talking Therapies merchandise, such as pens, reusable bags and tea bags.
This event coincided with the launch of the ‘Bin Feeling Down’ social media competition, a co-sponsored campaign with Coventry City Council that highlights the importance of looking after your mental wellbeing, using creative designs on bins and lorries in Coventry. The social media competition has three categories, where the winner in each section will be awarded with a £100 voucher. Participants are encouraged to upload a photo or video to the social media pages of Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Talking Therapies on Instagram, Facebook and X using #binfeelingdown or #BFD. The contest closes on 15 March 2024. The full rules can be found on the ‘Bin Feeling Down’ website.
