Sam Tyrer and Change Talks
Sam Tyrer is the Prevention and Engagement Lead here at Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust and is the founder of a service called Change Talks, which offers mental health education to 11-21 year olds. This service has reached over 55,000 young people since the beginning of 2018 and it continues to go from strength to strength.
Sam is also the co-host of a webinar series called the Mental Health Family Hour, which has recently received national recognition from the Prime Minister. The Points of Light Award was given to Sam and his co-host for their work throughout the lockdown to support people’s mental health through their weekly webinar series.
We will be featuring some of Sam’s work over the coming weeks on the library blog and Twitter page as well as some useful resources Sam recommends for helping us all to provide emotional support, both at work and at home.
Please email us at academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk to share your tips or advice for providing emotional support for your friends, relatives and colleagues.
