The "TEN WAYS ..." booklet has been prepared in lively partnership between Camden Mental Health Consortium and The Camden and Islington Partnership.
Not rocket science … But your booklet contains some simple techniques that we have found useful, and that we hope will help you in your everyday life. It is small enough to fit into your pocket, and we hope you will carry it with you wherever you go, as a useful guide.
This booklet was not written by professionals, but by four members of Camden Mental Health Consortium …
Babs Caren Colin Penny
Take care of yourself, and enjoy.

Formed in 1995, The Camden & Islington Partnership and Mental Health Day Fair aim to ‘celebrate’ mental health and well-being through sharing information, art and performance, open discussion and ideas, and by bringing people together! The Partnership as a consortium of agencies, reforms every year. In 2003, The Partnership introduced “Fortnight Focus on positive mental well-being in the community” and a wider number of events and activities.
