Our next #LetsTalkbetter event is on the 21st of September, themed ‘The Last Taboo’ at Community House in Bromley.
The Mayor of Bromley, Cllr Mike Botting, and Member of Parliament for Orpington, Gareth Bacon, will be attending.
The name ‘The Last Taboo’ has been chosen because the term is commonly used to describe a number of uncomfortable topics. That simply shows that there are too many taboo topics. Let’s Talk Better is working to normalise conversations about numerous topics that are currently treated as taboo. Serious harm can and does result from taboo topics being avoided in conversation. Many stressful and traumatic life events would be much more every day and simple to handle if they were not treated as taboos. For example, the onset of puberty, menstruation, and menopause.
Other life events could be prevented or addressed much more quickly and easily if they were no longer taboo, and we have picked two taboo topics as the focus of this event:
1. Financial distress, with speaker Richard Cox
2. Suicide with Let’s Talk Better Co-Founder Zeenat Noorani and specially recorded contributions from Steve Phillips (Jordan Legacy) and Mike McCarthy, Founders of the Baton Of Hope suicide prevention campaign.
In addition, there are interactive sessions and music from local performer Oliver Anderson.
The event will be held between 11.15am and 1.30pm on Thursday 21st September at Community House in Bromley. Ticket link here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-last-taboo-lets-talk-better-tickets-692296827447.
Once again, Let’s Talk Better will bring together people involved in related activities and projects in the local area and beyond.
We continue to support our chosen charity, CASPA.
