Alcohol use can influence mental health. And mental health can influence alcohol use. 🧠

As Mental Health Month continues, we're shining a light on this two-way relationship.

Every person's experience of this relationship is different and it can change over the course of one’s life.

One of the ways we can encourage more people to seek support is by dismantling the stigma that surrounds alcohol use and mental health.

By understanding the links, we can work to create spaces where alcohol and mental health are discussed without shame, so people can get the help they need.

Listening to Music After 70 May Cut Dementia Risk by Nearly 40%

New research highlights the powerful cognitive benefits of music for older adults.

Among more than 10,800 participants aged over 70, those who regularly listened to or played music were far less likely to develop dementia.

The greatest benefit was seen in those who made music a consistent part of daily life.

Scientists believe that music’s ability to activate memory, emotion, and attention centers in the brain may help delay cognitive decline.

Take a deep breath in, then out, and a moment to pause - it's Mental Health Month!

Cutting back or cutting out alcohol is one of the many changes that can help support your overall mental health and wellbeing.

Drinking alcohol may make you feel more relaxed in the short term.

However, over time it can make feelings of low mood, anxiety and stress worse - and even contribute to mental health concerns like depression.
