🧠 Weekend Check In 🧠

So, being a good friend when someone might be going through a mental health crisis is super crucial. I mean, think about it - your mate could be really struggling and feeling totally overwhelmed. By being there for them, listening without judgment, and offering your support, you can make a huge difference in their life.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple text or phone call to show that you care and are there for them. Encouraging them to seek professional help or just being a shoulder to lean on can mean the world to someone in crisis. Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health, so don't hesitate to reach out and lend a helping hand if you suspect your friend is struggling. Being a good friend in tough times can truly make all the difference.

🧠 OCD Awareness Week 🧠

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Awareness Week is an annual event intended to increase public awareness and understanding of OCD, a mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Obsessions are intrusive and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant distress, while compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed in response to those obsessions. This week serves as an opportunity to educate the public about the symptoms and impact of OCD, promote access to treatment options ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy to medication, and reduce stigma associated with the disorder.

By raising awareness about OCD and providing accurate information, we can help individuals affected by this condition feel supported and empowered in seeking help.

🚶🚶🏻‍♀️🧠🧠 Coming Soon 🧠🧠🚶🏻‍♀️🚶

Terrace Talk will be hosting weekly 1 hour mindfulness nature walks in West Lothian (Terrace Walks)

Regular walks can help decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression by releasing feel-good chemicals like endorphins in the brain. Additionally, walking can reduce stress levels, improve self-esteem, and enhance overall mood due to the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Taking a walk outdoors in nature can also increase feelings of relaxation and calmness, providing a sense of grounding and connection with the natural world, which is important for mental well-being.

🧠 World Mental Health Day 🧠

As we navigate through these uncertain times, it has become increasingly crucial for employers to prioritise the mental health and well-being of their employees.
I can't stress enough how important it is for companies to create a supportive and understanding work environment that encourages open communication about mental health struggles. We spend a significant amount of our lives at work, and it's imperative that our mental health is taken seriously by our employers.
Gone are the days where mental health was brushed under the rug or seen as a sign of weakness. It's time for employers to step up and provide resources and support for their employees who may be struggling with mental health issues. Whether it's offering mental health days, access to therapy services, or creating a culture of acceptance and understanding, there are so many ways for companies to prioritise their employees' mental well-being.
I urge all employers to take a proactive approach towards mental health in the workplace.
