Being curious and open-minded to new experiences can help to look after our wellbeing. Have you tried any new hobbies lately? #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHealthTips #MentalHealthAdvice
Did you know that getting closer to nature can help to protect our mental health? Nearly half of people in the UK told us that visiting green spaces, such as parks, helped them to cope throughout the pandemic. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHeathTips #ConnectWithNature

Making time for movement and exercise can release those ‘feel good’ hormones, that reduce feelings of anger and protect our mental health. How can you bring movement into your day? #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHealthTips #MentalHealthAdvice #Exercise

It can take a lot of courage to tell someone how you’re really feeling or what you’re finding tough – but it can also be really worth it 💬. Talking things through with someone you trust can help protect your mental health and lift the weight off your shoulders 💚. #WMHD

Being kind can boost our mood, help us feel more capable, strengthen our connections with others and even help us to cope better with stress. What act of kindness have you done for someone else? #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHealthTips #MentalHealthAdvice #KindnessMatters

It’s World Mental Health Day 🌎. An opportunity to talk about mental health. To share tips & advice. And to let people know that it’s okay to ask for help if you’re struggling 💚. #WMHD #MentalHealth #WorldMentalHealthDay

This week we've been at South Newing prehistoric house site in Shetland doing some community survey with @mindyourhead. As part of their Suicide Prevention Awareness Week we've been exploring the positive effect engaging with heritage can have on our wellbeing and mental health.

What sets #WorldSuicidePreventionDay apart from many campaign days? It is more than raising awareness, it is a challenge to the secrecy & shame that have surrounded suicide. And a moment of commemoration for families whose tragic stories have transformed public understanding.

All parents should read this. It’s a message a follower shared with us. They asked their daughter what support they found helpful when they were struggling. This is what their daughter replied 💛 📸 @jacg

We understand that there is still a lot of stigma attached to asking for help with money worries, which means many people may not reach out and get the support that they need. To sign up for this session or for further information, please email [email protected]
