Today is the inaugural Emotional Health Awareness Day for everyone to think about their emotional health and how they can support and develop it in others, whether in their family, in school or in their workplace. It comes 25 years Family Links was established to encourage and teach nurturing and relationship skills through schools, families and the wider community. To encourage emotional well-being, everyone can celebrate Emotional Health Awareness Day by spending thirty minutes considering the following: • How are you feeling today? What might “looking after myself well today” look like? • What sorts of things have a settling effect on you? Make a list of your top 3 (e.g. going for a walk outside, having a long bath, chatting with a friend). • Think about any difficult feelings or unresolved issues that you carry around with you. Is it time to express them or let them go? Who can help you with this? • What might you do to nurture the important relationships in your life today, whether with family, friends or colleagues? • Make a plan to catch up properly with a good friend you haven’t seen for a while. • Plan a fun activity with family or friends, or something you find nurturing for yourself. • Listen really well to those around you today. #EmotionalHealthDay #mentalhealth #smebusiness

Embracing therapy is a step towards wellness, for both adults and children alike. Let's start by normalizing therapy – it's not just okay; it's a healthy choice for dealing with life's challenges. For our little ones, the thought of therapy might bring a bundle of nerves. It's completely natural. What's important is acknowledging these feelings – let them know it's okay to feel anxious. 🤗 Parents, your feelings matter too. Feeling nervous, guilty, or even a bit of shame about seeking help is more common than you might think. These emotions are part of the journey, but they shouldn't be roadblocks. Here's a gentle reminder: It's brave to seek support. Talking through your feelings, whether with a friend or a professional, can illuminate the path forward for you and your family. 💡 At West Island Therapy and Wellness Centre, we're here to guide you and your child through this journey with compassion and understanding. If you have questions or if there's a whirlwind of emotions you're navigating, we're just a conversation away. Let's make therapy a comforting and empowering experience together. 🌟 Feeling unsure or have questions? Reach out to us. Let's talk about making therapy a positive step for your family. ☎️514-696-0948 🔗https://lnkd.in/gj2-RHJ #ChildTherapy #NormalizeTherapy #ParentSupport #WestIslandTherapy #FamilyWellness #witwc3
