- Do you make all your customers feel welcome and comfortable in your pub?
- Do you want to see your patrons get back on the road to good mental health and good times in the simplest of ways?
- Do you believe the pub has an active role in dealing with people's mental health in a positive way and getting them back to feeling great again?
- Would you be willing to offer mental health first aid to your bar staff?
