RB Mind is dedicated to meaningful engagement with service users and carers. There are a number of ways to get involved including:

Joining You in Mind

You in Mind is our new services users’ forum. If you are interested in getting involved or want to learn more about RB Mind’s activities please attend the forum.

The forum is open to any service user who uses RB Mind services. It is a great place to get your voice heard, explore some of the issues the organisation is dealing with and give feedback on the services you are part of. There will usually be a member of our Board of Trustees and a senior manager present.

Find out more about You in Mind here.

Becoming a Service Associate

We will soon be launching the Associates programme. As an Associate of your RB Mind service, you’ll be able to represent your service and learn about new changes before they happen as well as give your comments and thoughts.

Find out more about becoming an RB Mind Associate here.

It’s okay to not be okay.

Remember this.

Some of you are already aware of my background/history and some of you are aware of my recent situation. What I want to do is share something that if depression affects you, maybe you can benefit from this.

* exercise your body and your mind.

Cannot stress enough how important this is. Get down a gym, or go for a run, walk or do something aerobically that will raise your heart rate. Maybe take up some combat sports to help improve confidence? Meditate if you can. Believe me you will feel heaps better.

* see friends and spend time with family. Even if you sit there and be quiet.

Recently I’ve message people past and present to catch up, see how they are and chat away. They may or may not want to see you but at least ask. I’ve seen family and spent time with them and spending time in someone’s company does wonders for low moods.

* enjoy your hobbies.

I have embraced the idea of writing stand up material. Comedy helps heaps if you’re in a low mood. For me comedy is the last defence of fighting low moods and it’s great. I also look up scientific journals, learn new subjects and drive about. I get the telescope out when I can. Book holidays if you have to. Maybe play some video games!

* be a gentleman/lady. Be kind to others

I cannot stress this enough. Of course there will be days where you want to get angry but it will only set you back. Believe me, I’ve wanted to get angry and lose my shit with someone recently but I decided to be kind, nice and an adult. It will reflect well on you and improve your strength of character. Be at peace with yourself.

I’ve learned a lot over the last few years and this year, and especially recently, have certainly helped develop me as individual.

I hope this is of some use and anyone, I repeat anyone, can always chat to me about anything.

Peace and love. x 👌🏻 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy World Mental Health Day!

Brand research has told us that despite the increase in awareness and conversation around mental health people are still confused about what can be defined as a mental health problem, how common they are and the impact they can have on people’s lives.

Here’s a short video that explains some of the fundamental of mental health, feel free to share to help get the conversation going. youtu.be/AUWhdmKyOE8

Remember it’s not a bad a thing not to feel OK and it’s good to talk about it. How are you feeling today? Check in with someone, or more than person today and ask them how they are doing.
