3X3 UNITES’ Post

Mental Health Awareness Week is fast approaching - 13th to 19th May. At National Mind and here at TOG Mind, we're using #NoMindLeftBehind as a call to action to raise awareness and vital funds for a society where everyone can get quality mental health care when they need it. Every year, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem. Many people are speaking more openly about their own experiences and seeking support. But there are still so many people urgently waiting, not getting the help they need. An estimated 2 million people are on waiting lists for mental health services. Since 2017, the number of young people struggling with their mental health has nearly doubled. People tell us they feel overwhelmed and hopeless, that things will never change. That’s why for Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, we’re launching #NoMindLeftBehind and calling on everyone to raise awareness and vital funds. https://lnkd.in/eB-4xZp Together, we can make sure that no mind is left behind. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW #MHAW2024

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, created to urge us to reflect on the challenges faced by all of those affected by mental health conditions. Year after year, strides are made to raise awareness, support access to care, and fund research - and there is still much work to do. #mayismentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #nophysicalhealthwithoutmentalhealth #ncpsychological #NCPA #ncpf

Addressing the Hidden Crisis of Hoarding This Mental Health Week, it's crucial to shine a light on an often overlooked issue - hoarding disorder. Did you know that around 5% of the UK population suffers from this debilitating condition? Yet, shockingly, only 5% of those affected are ever referred for the help they desperately need. Too often, it takes a crisis or incident before support is provided. The research on hoarding in the UK is limited, but the impact on those suffering is severe. Many feel suffocated and drowning in their own homes - a terrifying and isolating experience. That's where we come in. At Scene Clean, we are fully trained to handle hoarded properties with the utmost care and understanding. Our non-judgmental approach means we can work closely with individuals to declutter and reorganize their living spaces, restoring their sense of comfort and control. If you or someone you know is struggling with hoarding, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can arrange a home visit to discuss how we can get the support and services needed to address this issue head-on. Together, we can break the cycle and provide a lifeline to those suffering in silence. Let's use this Mental Health Week to raise awareness and get the right help to those who need it most. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthweek #hoarding #help

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 is Movement: Moving More for your Mental Health.    To celebrate this week, and to raise awareness of good mental health, Bentley have run workshops for colleagues to get together and discuss mental health and this year's theme. The rate of employment among adults of working age (16-64) with a mental illness increased markedly from 27% in Q1 2007/08 to 51% in Q4 2020/21. And more than 1 in 7 UK adults say their mental health is bad or the worst it’s ever been: 18.5% of women, 12.5% of men (Nuffield Health Trust, QualityWatch, 2022).    Whilst we all know that moving more is good for us, we often don't make the time to do as much as we should or like to do. The workshops are focusing on this and how to overcome the barriers we face so we can achieve good mental health and also challenging everyone to find the time to move more.    What are the barriers preventing you from moving more? How will you overcome this? #movementismedicine #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthawareness #movingmore  #mentalhealth #bentley

As it is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek I feel like I should write something. However.... I think this sort of thing is totally unproductive. This Awareness Week has been running since 2001! Do you think Mental Health has improved in that time? I certainly don't. We don't need another Awareness Week: We need the services to be fully funded and national. We need the systematic issues in society to be acknowledged. We need to stop asking people who are struggling to reach out for help in areas that there aren't any support services. We need to stop telling people to go for a walk and that will solve everything. We need to realise that if people cannot afford to pay bills that offering resilience or Mental Health support is like a smack in the face. I don't know what the answer is but I am sure that it isn't another Awareness Week, as 24 years on we wouldn't be having the same conversation again and again and again. #MentalHealth

Mental health should be a buzz concept.

I am in therapy. I also go to the GP 🩺 And the dentist 🦷 Oh, and the gym 🏃🏼♀️ Why are we so afraid to admit that we need to work on our brains, as much as we do our physical body? We use our brain 24/7 for goodness sake! ONLY 1 year ago, that Jules would have been shocked to hear that 4 months later I would be sitting on a coach talking about my mental health... Why would she have been shocked? 🤔 1) Society's portrayal of therapy. 2) Thought therapy was only "allowed" for severe cases. 3) Supportive family and friends, which made me feel I didn't "qualify". 4) Wasn't at breaking point. It's mental health awareness week, and so this felt a right time to share 💜 Since openly talking about this with clients, colleagues and friends, I have learnt that SO many of my network go to therapy! SHOCKER, it's normal 😛 Let's talk about it. Let's SHOUT about it. Let's refer each other to GREAT therapists (mine is awesome.. message me for the referral!) #mentalhealth
