Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido was in London on Tuesday as part of a surprise international trip to revive support for forcing the resignation of the country’s authoritarian leader, Nicolas Maduro. One year ago, Guaido was recognized by the U.S. and over 50 countries as Venezuela’s interim president after Maduro blocked opponents in the last presidential election. However, VOA’s Brian Padden reports.
A NEWLY-elected councillor has backed mental health support groups being set up for women across the Bradford district. In March 2020, a new peer support group, It’s Worth Talking About, was set up in Keighley by Ryan Anderton and Andy Clements. Initially set up to support men’s mental health through weekly meetings, the demand was so great for mental health support that support groups for women were added and new groups have been created in Bingley, Haworth, Wilsden, Shipley, Silsden and Crossroads with more new groups in the pipeline. It also coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week, which starts today.
A KEIGHLEY-based mental health support group is expanding across the district. It’s Worth Talking About is launching male and female groups in Silsden and Wilsden – and an online facility. The move comes after an upsurge in interest around the group s services – particularly following the death last month of a young rugby player, 21-year-old student Alex Barusevicus. Mickey Hurley – secretary and coach at Silsden Storm amateur rugby league club, which runs teams from junior level to open age – contacted It’s Worth Talking About regarding the possibility of creating what he described as much-needed support for both men and women in the community.
