Stanborough Park church welcomed Watford's newly elected MP Dean Russell who was undertaking his first official engagement attending a fundraising evening dinner to raise the profile of mental health issues held at the Stanborough Centre.
The event held on Sunday, 15 December was sponsored by stresstherapist.net with the support of the church's 'One Vision' outreach project. Stresstherapist is run by an Adventist couple Adewale and Uche Nwosu as a business and a ministry as much of their work involves visiting churches in a voluntary capacity.
The organisation has been running for the past 13 years providing training and workshops to encourage people to become emotionally resilient. Run by Adewale Nwosu, who has a background in mental health and is a psychotherapist, his main objective is to create awareness on mental health issues and encourage people to speak up if they have any difficulties rather than feel ashamed to ask for help.
He and his wife Uche also run centralised workshops and retreats to bring people together for training and workshops as well as giving talks on the topic. They are currently working with the Watford Chaplaincy team to provide Emotional Wellness to businesses at INTU Watford. Uche says, "It is a busy work, but we enjoy seeing people recover from difficult life situations."
