🌎WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2024 🌎 World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on October 10th. This year's theme focuses on stress in the workplace. It is important to recognise that mental health doesn't just impact your personal life - it can impact productivity, motivation, creativity and job satisfaction too. This is particularly pertinent for our foster parents whose career is based in their home. 🏚️ At Hope, we believe that it is really important to talk openly about mental health. 💬 The mental health of our staff and the mental health of our foster parents. 🧠 We host support groups. team away days, coffee mornings and much more. ☕ Our staff have recently been for a walk in the peak district and this month we are taking part in a self-defence day. We have recently hosted an informal coffee morning and we have just booked tickets for all of our foster families to go to the pantomime. 🎭 We don't always get it right but we are always trying to boost well-being and we pride ourselves with the personalised support we offer. #wmhd2024 #worldmentalhealthday2024 #wmhd #mentalhealthintheworkplace #fosterfamilies #fosteringuk #proudtofoster #fostercareuk #nottinghamuk

The theme for Black History Month this year is #reclaimingnarratives.

October is Black History Month which celebrates the achievements and contributions of black individuals and communities. It originated in the United States, where it is celebrated every February, but it has also been adopted in other countries, including the UK. 📜 We celebrate diversity at Hope and we feel that it is important to continue highlighting the need for foster parents from various backgrounds to meet the cultural and emotional needs of children from different ethnicities. ⭐ It is important that we can ensure that young people maintain a connection to their heritage and identity, which is vital for their overall well-being and development. ♥️ Can you name any of the celebrities in this video? They have all spent some time in the care system as young people.
