MATES Mental Health and Wellbeing Drop-in Chats

- Let's Talk Mental Health! -

What are Mental Health and Wellbeing Drop-in Chats?

Since January 2019, we have held our weekly Mental Health and Wellbeing Drop-ins. In 2022, we have moved to our new home of the MATES PubHub @ The Gardeners.

The drop-ins are a place where people can come and get things off of their chest and share their problems or concerns with people that care and want to listen, or they can just be a place to get out of the house.

No photos, no notes, no stigma, just a nice comfy pub in the safety of people that care and will not judge.

The Gardeners pub is run by MATES Ambassador Lee (meet Lee below!), and you are in safe hands.

Have a chat about mental health or just meet new people and chat about your worries or issues whenever you feel comfortable. Some people find they don't talk about themselves but feel better after just being with people that are going through similar things.
