Welcome to the HUBBlog!

The 'HUBBlog' is the online 'newspaper' for HUBB Mental Health. We want to keep you updated with what we 'Hubbites' are up to as well as any information that we believe will be of use to anyone involved in Mental Health, Wellbeing, Recovery and related services.

HUBB is not just about 'recovery' and support for those dealing with mental ill health. We are passionate about prevention. Programmes like Mental Health First Aid are particularly appropriate for business - especially in the current economic and social cliamte. Helping spot the signs and symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression and implementing strategies to promote a mentally and emotionally resiliant workforce and society will be vital for all our futures.

Further information can be found on the
HUBB Website.

Please comment and contribute! We look forward to hearing from you.

Mental Health First Aid


Mental Health First Aid England is undergoing some important changes.

A facelift for materials including the logos and it's ALGEE process.


The Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor dates are being circulated.

The MHFA England website is about to go live. This is a vast improvement on the old site and will host a lot of valuable information on the MHFA and YMHFA.

Our collaborative project with people who have experienced some form of mental distress is about to be launched. If you are interested in contributing material - photographs, poems, short stories, paintings, drawings, etc - to be included in a book demonstrating what recovery means and looks like to you, get in touch with Rob - T: 020 8590 2498 - Email here. We have set up a separate 'Recovery Is...' Blog to keep you updated, as well as showcase work we receive. We hope that this will provide inspiration to others to get involved. Here are some examples to help stimulate your creativity:











We hope that the creation of the book will challenge stigma and descrimination around mental ill health issues. We are also very aware that some may want to provide material but want to remain anonymous. This is absolutely fine. Contact us to find out more Or visit the HUBB website which has a dedicated page to the project.

If you are interested in the potential of this form of collaborative and participative project you can view pages from a book 'Through Our Eyes' that Rob created with four young people from the communities in Mumbai HERE,
