Time to Talk Day takes place on Thursday 3 February, and we want you to get involved!

Talking about mental health has the power to change lives. Each conversation contributes to reducing stigma, helping to create communities where we can talk openly about mental health and feel empowered to seek help when we need it.

Share on your social media using #TimeToTalk. You can find out more here: timetotalkday.co.uk/

Start a new week with our one-hour online Mind and Body Mindfulness workshop with Karen on Monday morning at 10am.

Meditating has a number of proven mental health benefits. It can help lower levels of stress and anxiety, provide better focus and concentration and also help improve self-awareness. There are physical benefits too, including helping improve sleep patterns.

This workshop is free and can be booked here: tinyurl.com/tjhj8n7k

If you are not setting goals, try to take some time for yourself in small ways, get some rest and recharge your social batteries, drink more water - these things are just as valuable to us as creating new year’s resolutions!

Let’s try to take the pressure off, let ourselves off the hook a little more, be more honest, compassionate and true to ourselves, our families and our friends. We don’t have to be fine all the time. This year, our resolution could be not to make any resolutions but to take good care of ourselves.

January comes with this ‘new year, new me’ idea and this creates more pressure, but let’s face it the novelty can wear off after a few days or weeks.

If you find setting goals or resolutions helpful, instead of setting an unrealistic goal or target in the new year, break things down and perhaps set a target for each day instead. This way you can manage your expectations and you’re more likely to achieve each goal - sometimes small steps are better.
