What’s been happening?
I’ve been pet and house sitting by the coast for some friends. I live in the Midlands so the fresh sea air and a change of scenery does wonders for my wellbeing. Now, how do I encourage them to book another holiday soon?!
What’s coming up for the last quarter of 2025…
On the 10th October, it’s World Mental Health day. The World Federation sets the theme for Mental Health.
For 2025 it’s ‘access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies’.
Everyone deserves to experience good mental health, the theme this year highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health whatever they’re going through in life.
Here’s what you can do this year to raise awareness within your community:
- Share the Hub of Hope app – It’s a list of UK mental health resources from the NHS to Community Interest Companies (CIC’s) that anyone can access.
- Host a ‘tea and talk’ organised by the Mental Health Foundation. Download your pack here:https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/do-your-own-fundraising/tea-talk-world-mental-health-day
- This awesome e-learning resource has been created by Indegu for Advance Your Wellbeing and will provide you and your team with the knowledge and skills around mental health and emotional wellbeing. To access and share the course, please follow this link: Mental Health and Emotional Wellness or visit: https://indegu-development.co.uk/MentalHealth/content/index.html#/
- Did you know the NHS provide a Mental Health non emergency number for adults and children experiencing poor mental health? Call 111, press option 2.
