Thrive Bristol is our city-wide programme to improve the mental health and wellbeing of everyone in Bristol. It is focusing on prevention and the role partners from across the city can play in promoting good mental health. It is helping to achieve key goals within Bristol’s One City Plan – such as those to roll out mental health awareness training to 1 in 5 in Bristol; for Bristol to become a ‘suicide safe city’; and for mental health stigma and discrimination to be eradicated.
