It\u2019s hardly surprising when we know that 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England. We want to destigmatize talking about mental health and normalise conversations that allow us to honestly say how we feel.<\/span><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"x-line e19-e26 mj-12\"\/><div class=\"x-text x-content e19-e27 mj-15 mj-16\"><div class=\"x1e56ztr\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u\">Isolation and loneliness are a big concern for society as a whole and we know that it can massively increase the likelihood of people developing mental health problems\u2026this brings us back to the idea of <strong>Faringdon Connect<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.\u201d Margaret J.
