You may have read the article recently featuring local resident Chris Dixon and how Bury Adult Learning Service helped him in his recent journey.
What the article didn’t go into too much was the journey in detail, on World Mental Health Day Chris has been brave enough to share his story, please do take the opportunity to listen if you can and share.
This is Chris’s story.
If you have issues with mental health, support is available and you can get in touch with various national organisations listed on the Mental Health Foundation site.
Chris mentions a variety of local organisations and groups in his story, some of which are:
Bury Healthy Minds
RammyMen
Street Soccer Academy
Above all, Chris’s message is:
There is help out there, there is empathetic, understanding, respectful, kind and humble people who will listen.

Please don’t suffer in silence like I did for so many years. Remember, it takes strength to talk, it isn’t weakness. You’re worthwhile, you matter, you’re not alone.
