TV personality and mental health awareness campaigner Ruby Wax has teamed up with British retail chain Marks & Spencer to launch Frazzled Café, a series of fortnightly 'talk-in' sessions led by trained volunteer facilitators in 11 M&S stores nationwide, where people who are feeling 'frazzled' can meet up and share their personal stories in a safe, anonymous environment.
Wax commented 'Frazzled Café is about people coming together to share their stories, calmly sitting together, stating their case and feeling validated as a result. Feeling heard, to me, has always been half the cure. It’s special to get a company like M&S on-board. I’m grateful for the set-up support they’ve given us and access to their café network is a huge boost'.
