Improving Mental Health Wales
About this project
The Improving Mental Health Wales project delivers free monthly webinars, with inspirational speakers delivering online seminars concerning all things mental health and wellbeing.
This project makes a massive difference in the lives of many people in Wales and beyond, who otherwise might not be able to access the information they need to help manage their mental health and wellbeing.
The free webinars cover a wide range of topics, including workplace wellbeing, how to start a conversation with someone facing a mental health challenge, addiction awareness, and understanding and managing grief and bereavement.

Trudy Williams
On the 10th August 2022, we lost our friend and colleague Trudy in a fatal car accident. Trudy was a fundamental part of setting up The Ajuda Foundation.
We also have The Trudy Williams special recognition award held at the annual Mental Health and Wellbeing Wales Awards.
Trudy was so passionate about promoting positive mental health, and she would go out of her way to support people.
People would often ring our office asking for help and advice with their mental health and Trudy would quickly go through her list of advice and support contacts and give them details of the right person or organisations.
Trudy genuinely cared about everyone she met, and I truly believe that she made us all better people just by being herself.
We hope her name will become synonymous with positive mental health and wellbeing, and that The Ajuda Foundation will continue to honour her memory for many years to come.
