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.

HUBB Annual General Meeting

Our AGM will be held at the Baptist Church in Romford on Thursday 1st September 5pm to 7pm.
Our guest speaker will be Bernie Graham who has written a book about his own personal experiences, 'Creature Comforts Animal That Heal' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creature-Comfort-Animals-That-Heal/dp/0684851636

20th Anniversary - book launch

On 4 August we filled the hall at the Baptist Church to celebrate 20 years since our very first meeting. It was a fitting occassion to launch our book 'Recovery is......'


Dinah was able to remind us of our early days of advocacy, when we were seen on the wards at Warley Hospital as 'the complaints ladies'. This is how the consultants used to greet us!



It was wonderful to welocme so many of the contributors of the book, which is availble from the HUBB office for £15 (plus £2 p&p).
