The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) brings together key Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners to share knowledge and insights.
On the 7th of March, RNRMC hosted a workshop on Whale Island for key individuals working in the Mental Health and Wellbeing space to share their experiences and insights with one another.
For the last few years, the RNRMC has supported projects with its grant funding to help address the health and wellbeing needs of the naval community. This workshop was organised with the aim of bringing together key professionals and charity representatives from diverse backgrounds and specialties within the space. The day was filled with meaningful conversation as participants explored key topics and strategies for navigating the complexities of providing the right support for serving personnel and their families.
Through engaging presentations given by Emeritus Professor Janet Walker OBE and WO1 Claire Robinson, interactive discussions, and practical activities, participants gained new perspectives and insights.
The workshop also featured seminars led by other esteemed experts in the field, covering a range of relevant topics including children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, the deployment cycle, and insights into Navy life for families and Moral Injury.
Attendees praised the workshop for its high-quality content, engaging presentations, and supportive atmosphere. Many expressed their appreciation for the practical tools and insights gained, which they plan to incorporate into their professional practice.
We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our workshop and the meaningful connections made among participants. It was inspiring to see practitioners come together to share their experiences, learn from each other, and reaffirm their commitment to serving the Naval community. We are grateful to all the speakers and attendees who contributed to the success of the workshop. It is our hope that the knowledge and connections forged during this event will continue to benefit practitioners and the individuals they serve.
