Want to improve your mental health? What would you say if I found a device that will improve you’re mental health and connect you to communities with new people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life. Learning to play an instrument WILL improve mental health - FACT! It’s never too late to start learning an instrument and the benefits will be felt immediately. The more you put in the more you get in return. If I could give one piece of advice to every human I would say learn an instrument. It’s a great tool to have to help you relax, heal, display/work through your emotions, and reduce stress.

I couldn’t stop crying 😢 after watching this. It reminded me of when I first battled with severe depression and refused to get help. To the external world, I appeared fine, but as soon as I got home I would fall apart and cry most nights. I thought I was strong enough to face it alone. I was embarrassed to seek help. But it wasn’t until I reached out that I realized seeking support was a sign of strength 💪. ⚠️ So many men are struggling in silence. ⚠️ 1 in 8 men are battling with their mental health, the majority don’t seek help, and men are 4X more likely to end their life compared to woman. What can YOU do? Check in with your male friends, family, co-workers, or partner, regardless of how they appear. Let them know they can ALWAYS talk to you about anything WITHOUT judgment.

Wow, results from a study indicate that 44% of non musicians (general population that doesn’t sing or play an instrument), has perfect pitch. It also highlights that 69% have perfect pitch to within one semitone, WITHOUT ANY FORMAL MUSICAL TRAINING! Wow, the can of worms is open now to what we are all capable of musically. Seems almost like we are presided for music.

Re-evaluating the "You can take a Horse to Water," Paradigm in Addiction Recovery In the realm of addiction and recovery, we often hear the adage: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." This phrase implies that individuals struggling with addiction must find the motivation to change on their own. While it contains a kernel of truth, I believe this perspective is fundamentally flawed and limiting for practitioners in our field. As an addiction and mental health practitioner, I've come to realize that we possess the skills and tools necessary to do much more than just lead someone to water. We have the ability to influence, support, and guide them towards the decision to "drink" – to embrace recovery. Consider the literal horse. If it refuses to drink, one effective approach might be to ride it until it becomes thirsty enough to drink willingly. Similarly, with someone grappling with addiction, we can employ psychosocial interventions to gradually improve their daily lives. This incremental progress can reignite hope and the desire for change. Moreover, integrating individuals into a recovery community where they find support among peers in similar stages of recovery can significantly enhance their motivation. These connections foster a sense of belonging and shared purpose, which are crucial elements in the journey to sobriety. Thus, as practitioners, we must transcend the passive acceptance implied by "You can lead a horse to water." We need to recognize our active role in facilitating change. By doing so, we redefine our strategies to engage individuals more effectively with life-saving services. I work with an amazing team of community engagers within Red Rose Recovery that support people into engaging with the life-saving service Change, Grow, Live and we actively aim to smash the stigma associated with this horse to water paradigm. Let us move beyond outdated maxims and embrace a more proactive, compassionate approach. Our actions and interventions can indeed make a profound difference. #redroserecovery #changegrowlive #horsetowater #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealth #ProactiveSupport #CommunityIntegration #RethinkingRecovery #psychosocialinterventions
