Mind your mind
Mental Health Awareness week and Dementia Action week are both happening this month.
1 in 4 of us experience a mental health issue in any given year.
1 in 2 of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetimes, either through a diagnosis or by caring for someone with a diagnosis.
The ICE Benevolent Fund want ICE members, and their families to know - you don't have to make your journey alone.
So, what's on offer?
We offer a range of support services to members and their families as part of their member benefits.
