OHT Brighton - Mental health support: Two ways to widen the door

We're hosting monthly breakfast events, kindly supported by Yolk House coworking space, with free coffee and pastries. PLUS you can work there fore the rest of the day!! Lovely stuff.

Some people never access mental health support. The service is too far, the wait too long, or talking to someone in a room is the thing they can't face. And the organisations closest to them - local charities, community groups - are usually the least resourced to help.

Tend VR, a health tech company specialising in evidence-based virtual reality for mental health support, has been working on both. A VR headset delivery model that suits people other formats don't reach, and a model that partners rather than competes with the voluntary, charity and social enterprise sector to deliver service contracts.

This month, Sean Carroll, Business Development Manager at Tend VR, joins us to talk about delivering on a mission to put quality mental health care into the hands of everyone who needs it.
