21.01.2022 Mindfulness Activity- Thoughts and Emotions

21.01.2022 This week is National Homelessness Week, and the theme for 2020 is 'Everyone needs a home.' Safe, affordable housing is a foundation for mental wellbeing - we cannot have one without the other. The below clip shows how a home and mental health are intertwined #HW2020... #HomeisWheretheHealthis #mentalhealthstartshere #strogertogether

20.01.2022 Today is World Kindness Day. It is important now more than ever that we throw kindness around like confetti as we have all 'felt the pinch' of 2020 and the surprises that the year has delivered. Kindness improves morale, self-esteem and well-being. In other words, being kind makes you happy! It's a win for you, a win for others and a win for the world in general. #StrongerTogether #bekind #kindnessisfree

16.01.2022 Hands up who enjoyed our free Community Webinar last Thursday with Heath Black? If yes, you must join us for the next one in August featuring Tegan Davies. Many of us have heard the term ‘bouncing back’, but Tegan and her team at the Oranges Toolkit, prefer ‘bouncing forward’. To bounce forward implies that we are able to use the challenges and adversity we face as an opportunity for growth and renewal. During this live session we will cover some of the science of positive psychology, neuroscience and emotional intelligence and provide you with practical tools to build your well-being and resilience during COVID-19 and beyond. Feel free to Share with your friends and invite them along #strongertogether #mentalhealthstartshere https://www.facebook.com/events/322243342142383/
