The message goes on to say that over the next year, Paradym will be “working with BMMUK to provide evidence-based resources that help inform and educate on the importance of emotional wellbeing across BMMUK’s community”.

“Unified in our respective missions to support people on a journey towards better emotional wellbeing, we trust this is the beginning of a long-term partnership with BMMUK, helping them connect as many Black individuals and families seeking, but unable to access, the mental health services they need.”

Paradym describes itself as an app “designed to heighten your level of self awareness and reach your greatest potential”.

Musicians have come together today (October 10) to mark World Mental Health Day. “This year has been so demanding for all of us,” Tim Burgess wrote. “Sometimes it’s difficult to see anything beyond the dark clouds.

“But hope is always with us. Reach out if you need to, take time out if things gets too much. It’s about looking after each other and ourselves.”
