The Stafford Centre was invited to participate in the recent Mental Health Community Information Event which took place in the Calton Centre, 121 Montogomery Street, Edinburgh on Tuesday 8^th October from 1-4 p.m.  This event, co-ordinated by NHS Scotland and Advocard, aimed to provide anyone affected by mental health issues, and their carers, with a wide range of  information about the services and community resources that are available to them.  Joe, a Stafford Centre service-promotion volunteer, played a vital role on the day by helping us to set up our stall, hand out leaflets and answer lots of questions from people who wanted to know more about the Centre.  It was a very busy and enjoyable afternoon – as a result of our work, we made lots of new contacts and expect lots of new referrals.  Thanks again to Joe, and also to Mike, another of our volunteers who helped to prepare our display-board.
