It's good to talk: how Tyne and Wear Citizens won change on mental healthThis mental health awareness week we're celebrating community leaders across Tyne and Wear who came together and made change on mental health. Within one year of forming an alliance, they created a 'Commission' working group and won campaigns across the region. Reverend Simon Mason breaks down how this was possible through the power of listening and testimony.
