Failure is a part of life, it is a universal experience, something that connects us all. It has negative connotations but it can have a positive impact on our lives.

People pleasing is very common, we all want to be liked, so we say 'yes'.

But it's also important to understand that it's ok to say 'no' or 'can I think about it?'

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

Interested in representing and speaking on behalf of the people who use a service or project in RB Mind that you’re currently involved in?

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.

Attending an Event

Learn more about mental health by coming along to a ‘What is’ seminar. Ask questions or learn about different conditions. Upcoming topics include:

What is:

Depression
Anxiety
Stress
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
a Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)
Outcomes Based Commissioning (OBC)

New Voices

Are you new to being involved in services, speaking about them or speaking on their behalf? Come and try New Voices, for people who haven’t been involved much, or at all, in services before.

Many of us are afraid of failing, it has negative connotations. It is instilled in us that if we fail, we are a failure.

But fear of failure limits us because it prevents us from taking risks and moving forward with our lives.

People pleasing is very common, we all want to be liked!

We often think that by saying 'yes' to things we will gain approval and recognition, while this may be true it is also important to understand that it's ok to say 'no' or 'can I think about it?' Having boundaries in place can help our wellbeing.

As Men's Health Week comes to an end we want to highlight the importance of Men's Mental Health. Men are often told not to express their emotions and to toughen up, but this is harmful and it needs to be talked about more.

We all have mental health and our struggles are valid.

So, check in on your male friends, family members and colleagues this Men's Health Week and every other week!
