Pets play a powerful role in co-regulation by providing consistent cues of safety and comfort. Their calming presence can help soothe our nervous system, making it easier to shift out of stress and into a state of connection. Simply being near a pet can foster feelings of safety, calm, and emotional balance. This natural co-regulation strengthens our ability to manage emotions and build resilience.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Each year on October 10 we all have the chance to put mental health in the spotlight to raise awareness and break down stigma.

This year we have focussed on the meaningful connections in our lives, and why they are so important for good mental health.

Mental health is an issue that touches each and every one of us in different ways, and World Mental Health Day reminds us that we should be connecting with loved ones, connecting with our community and colleagues, connecting with services and supports if needed - and most importantly - connecting back with ourselves for good mental health.
