AMI’s Weekly Walking Group

STARTING AGAIN MAY 5th!

As part of our continuing efforts to encourage physical activity as a path to improved mental health, we have introduced a walking group for all abilities, open to all friends of AMI!

Well Nest

Well Nest‘s next event will be held on Thursday, May 7th, and in light of it being mental health week, we thought we’d add a little something special.
You can expect our usual social gathering with food and drinks offered in a warm environment with individuals who understand the many challenges of caregiving and living with mental health challenges. But this time, we will be ending our evening with the company of Lana Turner, vocalist and songwriter, who will facilitate some vocal play. Curious? Come join us and discover a unique and special way one can use their voice to share their story, all whilst in good company!
