Suffolk Mind is an independent charity whose mission is to make the county the world's best place for talking about and taking care of mental health. To meet that mission, we provide a range of wellbeing services, courses and resources for individuals, schools, workplaces and community groups. Suffolk Mind supports people from the age of 4 upwards, through: - The Mental Health Kitbag, skills-based sessions for children and young people, and the adults who support them - Our support services for over 18s - The Mental Health Toolkit – our practical mental health training for organisations Working across the Mental Health Continuum, we aim to provide support and information for everyone. This includes counselling services and mental health support groups - a number of which are open for self-referral. To influence what we do, we use the Emotional Needs & Resources approach: that we all have physical and emotional needs, along with a set of skills and resources we’re born with to meet those needs. The 12 needs comprise three physical needs for Sleep, Movement and Food & Drink, and the remaining nine emotional needs. These are: Attention, Control, Emotional Connection, Respect, Achievement, Security, Community, Meaning & Purpose and Privacy. Start meeting your needs today. Contact us on 0300 111 6000, email info@suffolkmind.org.uk, or visit our website (suffolkmind.org.uk) to find out how Suffolk Mind can help you talk about and take care of your mental health.

Our need of the month for October is Privacy, the need to have time alone to reflect and learn from our experiences. 💭 According to Suffolk Mind research (2.3k responses in Suffolk), 59% of those meeting this need said their biggest supporting factor is their overall home environment. Ways to improve this need include: ✅ Plan 10 to 20 minutes to yourself each day ✅ Practise relaxation exercises ✅ Go for a walk alone in the fresh air Take a look at this video on 7/11 breathing for relaxation exercises: https://lnkd.in/exeB5sH3 #TMHTK #SuffolkMind #MentalHealth #MentalHealthTraining #WorkplaceWellbeing
It's #MenopauseAwarenessMonth and the perfect opportunity to tell you all about our Menopause & Me service in partnership with Suffolk Libraries. 💙 According to a 2021 BUPA survey, almost 1,000,000 people left work due to menopausal symptoms in the last year. Our aim is to support people in Suffolk with lived experience of the menopause, as well as local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to increase understanding and awareness of the menopause through interactive training sessions. ☀️ Find out more about the service 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3YKgMcR #Menopause #Perimenopause #SuffolkMind #SuffolkLibraries

George Baker Shipping was proud to attend the recent SuffolkForward event held by Suffolk Mind, ‘I am Woman’. It was an inspiring and insightful gathering with an all-female panel, addressing key challenges women face in the workplace, while also highlighting World Menopause Awareness Day. The event fostered important discussions, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support such initiatives that promote inclusivity and empower both women and men alike. #SuffolkForward #IAmWoman #GeorgeBakerShipping
