I didn’t even realise today was #InternationalMensDay until I came across a post by Elliott Rae highlighting some of the reasons why this campaign is so important—many of which centre on issues like mental health and isolation. These are challenges that also underscore the value of initiatives like #GQM, which I had the pleasure of attending this summer, led by the inspiring Robert King-Sarfo. One of my biggest takeaways from that event was the importance of staying connected and fostering meaningful relationships. Even as a self-proclaimed extrovert and chatterbox, I sometimes find it challenging to prioritise this. So, here’s your reminder to send that text, meet up with your friends, and have those honest, vulnerable conversations. They matter more than you might realise. #MensHealth #MentalHealth #PositiveMasculinity #MandemNeedHugsToo

As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we asked our colleague Clive Lucas, who is Branch Manager at Ashford, to tell us about his experiences of being a Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) within Keyline. Why did you volunteer to be a MHFA? I wanted to give back. After needing the help from a MHFA when my Mum passed away, I realised just how important MHFAs are in the business as sometimes people have no one to talk to. I remember feeling alone and like I couldn't talk to my family or friends, I was the one who had to be strong for them. When the MHFA approached me, it was like a huge weight was lifted. I wanted and still want to be that MHFA. What have you found most interesting or surprising about being a MHFA? I am always surprised how hard people find it to talk to someone about their problems, until they start talking – then, quite often, they find it hard to stop. They often think they are alone in how they are feeling. Which part of the training, and skills you’ve learnt, have you found most useful? Learning to listen and not speak. It is an all-too-common mistake that people, who are trying to help, turn the conversation around on to them. A lot of the time the individual just wants and needs to talk. If someone was thinking about becoming a MHFA what would you say to them? DO IT. It is so rewarding knowing you have been there when someone is at their lowest point and you have been able to give that person hope. Since becoming a MHFA I have gone on to gain my Level 2 in understanding mental health awareness. Thank you Clive – we’re very grateful to have you as a Mental Health First Aider. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHFA #MentalHealthFirstAider #MentalHealthSupport #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeWellbeing

We are happy to announce the arrival of the YMCA England & Wales Manifesto Puzzle to YMCA Cheshire. Some pacesetters are already arranging and supporting the initiative and lending a voice to the cause. Amongst the 5 key areas covered by the manifesto, this month lays emphasis on the wellbeing of young people. YMCA's initiatives across England and Wales are making a significant impact, supporting over 110,000 young people annually. These initiatives, which include school-based counselling and open-access youth services, have proven to be effective mental health interventions. The success of these programs underscores the importance of the recommendations YMCA is advocating for the next Government to adopt. Enhanced mental health support can mitigate school suspensions and exclusions, help young people develop essential life skills, and reduce loneliness. YMCA’s supported housing and school-based counselling provide crucial assistance to vulnerable youth, including those in care. YMCA urges the Government to implement these recommendations to build a robust mental health support system, improving the wellbeing of young people across England and Wales. Are you in Crewe or environ? With your support, we can get young people’s priorities back on the agenda. Join our campaign for change.
