Resources for Professionals
As part of the CandO team, we have a community engagement and coproduction worker who is always looking for opportunities to build professional relationships with other services. This enables us to spread the word about the support CandO provides and learn about other services so that our team can signpost effectively.
If you are a professional who would like to discuss how we can work with your organization to support adults in Gloucestershire, or if you are hosting an event that you would like us to attend, please contact cando@rethink.org
Professional webinars
We regularly host webinars for professionals - please get in touch if you would like us to host one within your organisation.

World Mental Health Day - 10 October 2025
We’re using the day to shine a light on the stigma around mental illness. Over half a million people in the UK are severely affected by mental illness. One of the most difficult things about living with a mental illness can be the judgement of others. Nearly a third of all UK adults (30%) would not be comfortable sharing a diagnosis of severe mental illness with a friend. That’s why we launched Let’s Rethink – a national campaign tackling the stigma faced by people living with mental illness. Learn more
