The Cambian Group

Today is National Stress Awareness Day Stress Awareness Day was created by The International Stress Management Association [ISMAUK] - a registered charity and the lead professional body for workplace and personal stress management, supporting good mental health, wellbeing and performance. The theme for this year is 'Campaigning to reduce stress and improve wellbeing'. Here are some hints and tips that may help manage stress in the workplace: - Plan workload and allocate time to tasks, focusing on priorities. - Understand more about stress - recognising the signs of stress and learning about the causes of stress is good place to start. - Learn different coping techniques. Everyone deals with stress differently, so take time to find methods that work. - Try practising mindfulness. This practice is about focusing on the here and now. It might help find calmness and clarity to respond to stressful situations. - Look after your physical health. Eat well and try a gentle activity like going for a walk or doing a chair-based exercise.

Happy Bonfire Night from all of us at Cambian Group! Some people with autism can experience sights, sounds, smells, touch and taste a bit differently, and sometimes more intensely. Bonfire night can be therefore be difficult, as the surprise, loudness and brightness of the fireworks can cause anxiety and stress. Here are some handy hints and tips to help keep you, your family and friends safe during the celebrations: Bonfires: - Build your fire in an open space, away from trees, bushes, fences and sheds. - Check there are no animals or children hiding in or around the bonfire before you light it. - Place a barrier and keep everyone at least 5 metres away from the fire. - Only burn untreated wood. - Keep a bucket of water nearby just in case. Fireworks: - Only buy fireworks that have the official CE mark on them, from reputable retailers. - Store fireworks in their original packaging with the lids closed. - Stand well back when they are lit. - Never return to a lit firework until it has gone off. - Wear noise cancelling headphones to block out the bangs or watch videos to distract from the noise to help with anxiety. We hope you have a fantastic and safe Bonfire night. #BonfireNight #Bonfire #Fireworks #GuyFawkes #Fire #Bonfires Sources: Lancsfirerescue.org.uk, bonfire-night-safety.co.uk, twinkl.co.uk, bbc.co.uk

Halloween preparations have been in full swing at Southlands School with so many exciting fun filled activities to celebrate the spooky month! Students have been busy baking Halloween themed cookies and cakes, picking and carving pumpkins with stencils and carving kits and holding a 'carve off' to see who could come up with the best designs, decorating the school and Lodge Home with themed decorations including balloon arches and lights, and creating window displays with pumpkins and spider webs. Alongside the students, staff were also invited to come up with their best Halloween outfits to mark the occasion. While there were many ghosts and ghoulies and a couple of standout witches, the most impressive was the Pupil Administrator, Holly Jeffrey, as Scooby Doo’s Daphne, with her dog Walter expertly playing the part of the Mystery Machine bus!

How can you support someone with ADHD? If you or someone you know has ADHD, talking is great way to share experiences, thoughts and feelings to gain support from friends and family. Regular exercise can also help in managing ADHD, getting out and enjoying some fresh air may help to release tension. Setting a routine, taking regular breaks or breaking tasks into smaller chunks may help ease those feelings of overwhelm or disorganisation. A daily schedule that includes specific times for tasks, meals and relaxation can help make it easier to manage the day. #ADHD #Autism #ADHDAwareness #ASD Sources: Dignityhealth.org, Gov.uk, verywellmind.com, NHS.UK, Healthline.com, Youngminds.org.uk, ADHDcentre.co.uk
