A big thank you to Big Yellow for their continued support. In the run up to Christmas, the storage space has definitely been the gift that keeps on giving!

Working out what triggers stress for you can help you anticipate problems and think of ways to solve them. Even if you can't avoid these situations, being prepared can help.

Some scientists think being active can improve wellbeing because it brings about a sense of greater self-esteem, self-control, and the ability to rise to a challenge. #NationalStressAwarenessDay #mentalhealth #stress #mind

The activities we do with friends help us relax. We often have a good laugh with them, which is an excellent stress reliever.

Stress tip: Identify your best time of day
Do the important tasks that need the most energy and concentration at that time. For example, you might be a morning person or an evening person. #NationalStressAwarenessDay #mentalhealth #charity

Service Users’ Poems on Film

On 10 October Richmond Borough Mind celebrated World Mental Health Day by showcasing a selection of poems by our service users on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Members of our Wellbeing Centre, Peer Network Group and Carers in Mind project contributed poems on the theme of ‘messages’, the theme of this year’s National Poetry Day which by happy coincidence fell within a week of World Mental Health Day. We then filmed readings of the poems: some read by our service users, others on their behalf including one recited by Sir Trevor McDonald.

Thanks to all our volunteers who shared their time, their skills and their enthusiasm to make this happen.

You can watch the films below:

Thank you to Big Yellow for their continued support!

A huge thank you goes out to our friends at Big Yellow Self Storage for their continued support. The storage room in the office allows us the space for our staff so that we can continue our work rather than trying to climb over all the boxes!
