Active Minds

What is National Diabetes Month? National Diabetes Month is a month-long campaign focused on increasing awareness about diabetes and its impact on individuals and communities. It provides a crucial opportunity to educate people about the risk factors for diabetes, the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and the management of the disease. National Diabetes Month 2024 is an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes, a chronic health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. This month-long campaign aims to educate the public about the different types of diabetes, risk factors, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection and management. National Diabetes Month also serves as a platform to support individuals living with diabetes, their families, and healthcare providers in their efforts to control the disease and improve overall health. Although we know Diabetes needs more than just one month, its great that it gets the spotlight that it needs for the month of November #DiabetesAwareness #KnowYourNumbers #PreventDiabetes #DiabetesManagement #Type1Diabetes #Type2Diabetes #DiabetesSupport

Being active has been described as a "wonder dug" in preventing and managing mental health. After two weeks of completing our Mental Health First Aider course, and using our subsequent Monday posts to signpost additional support, it was great to come across more evidence, and more support links through Sport England For more information, and to to their partnerships with charities, check out the link below 👇🏻👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/eEx6sVg6 #mentalhealth #supportingchildren #sportengland #childrensmentalhealthmatters

Introducing Support Mondays After re-completing our Youth Mental Health First Aid course, we have decided to use our Monday posts, as support options for the rest of the year. We want to use these posts to signpost support options for parents and families, that might not be quite sure where to turn to. We re-learnt, and learnt so much from our course, that we wanted to share, help and showcase the brilliant work and some of the recommended support out there from the topics that we covered. Todays highlighted support options: Mental Health First Aid England - MHFA England® , the course that helped provide all of these (there are so many more) support options. If you work with children, signing up and joining the Youth Mental Heath First Aid course is a must, in our opinion. The information, guidance, support, and what you learn is phenomenal. Our tutors have been amazing and we cannot thank them enough. Anxiety UK - Anxiety UK - Anxiety UK is a national charity, helping to support people living with anxiety, stress and anxiety-based depression. They offer an extensive range of support services designed to help control anxiety rather than letting it control you. #supportmonday #singposts #mentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #anxietyuk #mfhaengland

Active Minds throw back weeks continues... This time its our Nutrition and Health Eating programme. These were some of our first posts back in February 2022. These were the programme objectives posts created to advertise the programme, and what we focused on. So much has changed in that time with the Nutrition programme. We are proud of the development that the programme has taken. Looking back on the posts we were just getting started and it was real step forward in the opening development of the programme. #throwback #posts #development #activeminds #history #nutrition

However looking back at this video was such a highlight, and real step forward in the opening development of the programme. #throwback #filming #development #activeminds #history
