The easiest and most affordable way to feel better when you're lonely, stressed, or anxious is by joining a support community. In a support group, people talk about their own experiences and feelings. If you're shy at first, you can just listen. Being part of a support group has many good things: 1. Knowing You're Not Alone: You find out that others feel the same way. 2. Sharing Your Feelings: It's okay to talk about what's on your mind. 3. Learning Helpful Stuff: Get useful information from others who've been through it. 4. Getting Better at Talking to People: Your social skills improve. 5. Feeling Hopeful: You start to see things can get better. 6. Less Stress: It helps you relax and worry less. 7. Understanding Yourself More: Learn more about yourself 8. Helping Others: Your experiences might help someone else. 9. Doesn't Cost a Lot: It's affordable and can be a big help.

Although yesterday was #TimetoTalkDay2024, we ensure we continue to support it and post about the importance of mental health more frequently. 🧠 We asked our brilliant Education Lead, Kirsty Treherne to provide some top tips on improving well-being, drawing on her personal experiences as a headteacher. These 8 ways to improve your wellbeing are simple, proven actions that can lead to better mental health, and help you stay active, connect with others, be mindful and nurture positive relationships. Let's look at each in a little more detail and discover how to put them into place. 🗣️ Talking openly about thoughts and feelings with trusted friends and adults can help relieve stress and anxiety. For example, set up weekly lunch meetings with a friend to discuss any issues they're facing. 👟 Exercising through sports, dance, or other physical activity releases feel-good endorphins and improves focus and energy. Why not start an active hobby, like running? 🧘 Calming the mind through meditation, deep breathing, or peaceful music reduces anxiety and promotes clear thinking. Take 5 minutes before a test to close your eyes and breathe deeply. 📚 Learning new concepts and skills builds confidence and satisfaction. Challenge yourself by taking an online course in an unfamiliar subject area. 🤝 Relating to peers through collaboration on group projects strengthens social skills and relationships. Working together on a project will help you bond. 🎁 Contributing time or effort to help others fosters empathy and purpose. Could you volunteer at a local food bank on weekends, perhaps? 🎨 Creating art, music, or writing enables self-expression and boosts creativity. Consider starting a daily journal or joining an art club. 🎉 Congratulating peers on accomplishments builds community and self-esteem. Use tools like LinkedIn to celebrate each other's achievements. Which of these do you think you’ll be able to do for your well-being, and how will you do it?

🌟 Supporting Others Through Tough Times 🌟 Today's focus is on providing meaningful support to someone experiencing difficulties. It's about offering empathy, understanding, and practical help to make a positive difference in their lives. 🤝 "How can you better support someone going through a tough time?" Consider these approaches: 1) Listen Actively: Be present and fully attentive when they want to talk. Sometimes, just having someone listen without judgment can be incredibly comforting. 2) Offer Practical Help: Provide assistance with daily tasks or errands that might be overwhelming for them. This could be cooking a meal, helping with chores, or running errands. 3) Show Empathy: Acknowledge their feelings and let them know it’s okay to feel the way they do. Avoid offering unsolicited advice or minimizing their experience. 4) Check-In Regularly: Stay in touch with them through calls, messages, or visits to show that you care and are thinking of them. 5) Be Patient: Understand that healing and coping take time. Be patient and give them the space they need, while still being available for support. 6) Respect Their Needs: Ask how you can best support them and respect their wishes, whether they need space, company, or specific help. 7) Encourage Professional Help: If appropriate, gently suggest seeking professional support such as therapy or counseling. 8) Provide Distraction: Sometimes a fun activity or a change of scenery can offer a brief respite from their worries. Share your thoughts or experiences on supporting someone through tough times. Let’s inspire each other to offer compassionate and effective support to those in need. #SupportAndEmpathy #BeingThere #CompassionateCare

On Wednesday, March 27th, I'll be hosting a special GATHERING titled Breaking the Cycle: Managing Anxiety in Ourselves and Our Kids. This monthly meeting facilitated by myself includes a short practice, a brief talk/presentation on the topic at hand, with plenty of time for Q and A's at the end. About the March Topic: Join us for an illuminating discussion on how we can break free from the grip of anxiety that often ensnares both adults and children alike. Despite its illusion of productivity, worrying perpetuates a cycle of anxiety that can feel insurmountable. However, research shows that worrying is a learned habit you can unlearn through behavior-change techniques rooted in mindfulness and awareness. Whether you're navigating your own struggles with anxiety or supporting a loved one through theirs, this session offers practical tools and insights to foster resilience and wellbeing.

“Hi, my name is Susanna Calvert, I'm the Founder and Executive Director for the Foundation for Family and Community Healing. Welcome to the relationship wellbeing module. “We created this module because science tells us that healthy and positive relationships are key to our wellbeing, or our ability to have a good life. These skills start with good mental and emotional health... in other words, having healthy minds and feelings. But few of us are taught how to create healthy minds and feelings, yet these skills are things that we can learn. “Therefore, this module is designed to help you not only learn what you need to know to develop good mental, emotional, and relationship health, but also designed to help you practice and experiment to develop these skills. Skills are really just habits. So, for you to create new habits, you'll be practicing every day.” Click the link below to learn more! https://buff.ly/493NOFG • • • • • #relationship #relationships #relationshipgoals #quote #quotes #selflove #earth #eco #earthlove #community #romance #friendship #goals #healthyrelationship #listeningskills #listen #listening #communication #positivepsychology #onlinecourse #activelistening #listeningpractice #communicationiskey #howtolisten #listener #listeners #goodlistener #online #onlineclass

What is in your Self-care Toolkit? Self-care is all about finding and doing the things which you enjoy that actively preserves or improves your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing. Self-care helps you to deal much better with everyday life including the challenges and struggles you encounter. Self-care also allows you to be distracted from your thoughts and worries and to focus your attention to what you enjoy. I started building this jigsaw a week ago and I can honestly 100% recommend adding a jigsaw to your Self-care toolkit. After a busy, challenging and emotional week making time in the evenings, sometimes only for 10 minutes has been exactly the self-care I needed. I would like to pass this jigsaw on to someone who would like to build it and then would be happy to pass it on to someone else when finished building it. I would love for this jigsaw to help and bring joy to as many people as possible. If you would like to put your name in the draw to receive this jigsaw you can enter through my Instagram stories. (beechdale_alison) Do you need to think about adding to your Self-care toolkit? Remember Self-care is essential in life for everyone! #selfcare #selfcareisforeveryone #selfcaretools #taketimeforyou #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzle #mindsetiseverything
