🌈 Children's Mental Health Week 2024 🌈
I couldn't let this week pass without recognising Children's Mental Health week.

✌️I am so fortunate to spend my time supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families. Our young people are faced with daily challenges and barriers and its therefore, so important we can support them to take care of their mental health, so they can thrive & be the best version of themselves.

❓️I'm so often asked what are the top tips for looking after our mental heath? Well, thanks to for this wonderful graphic which encompasses so much of the philosophy of Occupational Therapy, and why our approach to mental wellness is so valued.

🌟 Belonging
🌟 Self-care
🌟 Purposeful routine
🌟 Reflection
🌟 Connection
🌟 Meaningful interests

What do these things mean to you & your mental health?

What are your top tips?

💚 It's World Mental Health Day today!

💚The theme for 2023, set by the Mental Health Foundation is ‘Mental health is a universal human right’.

🌎World Mental Health Day is about raising awareness of mental health and driving positive change for everyone’s mental health.

💚It’s also a chance to talk about mental health, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to get help if you are struggling.

🫶What will you do today to raise awareness of mental health?

💚Our amazing Occupational Therapist Marjolein has written a wonderful BLOG for World Mental Health Day. So, grab a cuppa and allow yourself a break while you read all about having the human right to good mental health ....
