Join Change Grow Live – Connecting London to mark this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week which runs from Monday 16-22 November on the theme of ‘Alcohol and mental health’. The campaign provides an ideal opportunity to highlight the link between alcohol and mental health and how by making changes to our drinking behaviour we can reduce our risk of developing or worsening mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Connecting London is a partnership of Change Grow Live services across the London area. During Alcohol Awareness Week, we’ll be hosting events and activities on Zoom and sharing resources. For more information and to access the full timetable, click here.
We will kick start the week with an online event via Zoom on Monday 16th Of November at 11am. The event will be focused around a Q&A session with our very own Dr Julie Scheiner (Chartered Psychologist) who will be answering questions on the effect of alcohol on mental health. If you would like to send in a question for Dr Julie beforehand please email to thealcoholservice.info@cgl.org.uk

Are you a local unpaid carer, or do you have a family member or friend who is? Thursday 26 November is Carers Rights Day 2020! This is a national day to raise awareness about your rights and where you can get help and support!
Carers Network is a local charity supporting unpaid carers in central London. We would love to be out and about in the community meeting local carers, but due to current restrictions we are instead going to be hosting an online ‘virtual stall’ on the day. Why not pop in, meet the team over a cup of tea or coffee, and find out how we can help you! We will have a morning session from 11am-1pm and an afternoon session from 2pm-4pm. We’d love to meet as many carers on day as possible. There is no need to register, and the log-in details are the same for the morning and afternoon:
