The festive season is fast approaching 🎄Christmas can bring so much joy, but it can also be a time of huge stress. If you have any tips on how to cope through the festive period, when things get a bit too intense, pop them in the comments.

Although stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can lead to poor mental health, and poor mental health can cause stress. Find out more about stress and how to look after yourself on our website💙

Today, 19 November, we join the global recognition of International Men’s Day — a day that honours the valuable contributions men and boys make to their families, communities and the wider world.

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Men and Boys,” not only shines a light on positive role models but also emphasises the importance of supporting men’s mental health. At Basildon Mind, we stand alongside our community in raising awareness, offering support, and encouraging men and boys to prioritise their well-being.
