📣 Although the days are getting shorter and the temperature has dropped, our mission continues!

We loved being part of Winter Warmer, a community event organised by WATCH Community Centre - Hillfields, alongside other local organisations, to showcase the free mental health support we provide to residents.

✨ We can do the same for you! If you’re planning a wellbeing event for your students, colleagues, business partners or residents, we’d love to join.

🫶Your mental health matters and so does your physical health. The two are deeply connected, because when your body feels good, your mind often feels better, too.

That’s why a physical health check is so important.

It includes:
✅ Height
✅ Weight
✅ Heart rate
✅ Blood pressure

Plus, you’ll be offered a blood test and a chance to talk about lifestyle changes that can help you feel your best. Listen to what Paul had to say about his physical health check.

Because mental health starts with whole health. Have you booked your physical health check yet? 💙

This is "Physical Health Checks - Paul - Landscape" by Ben Thompson on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

**It's Myth-Busting Monday!!!**

Here's the Myth vs Reality!

❌ Myth: You have to stay with the therapist assigned to you.
✅ Reality: You can ask for a different therapist if the fit isn’t right—your comfort matters for progress.

In other words, your wellbeing, your choice. 💙

🎨 One simple way to lift your mood? Surround yourself with ART!

We’re adding a splash of creativity to our Nuneaton waiting room - think mini art gallery (okay, not quite the Tate Modern!) 😉

Soon, our walls will be decorated with paintings and drawings from our talented colleagues and clients proving that art isn’t just pretty, but a powerful for your wellbeing.

Men’s mental health matters. Too many suffer in silence due to stigma or not knowing where to turn for help.

Did you know:
✅ 12.5% of men in England have a diagnosed mental health disorder
✅ Men are 3x more likely to die by su***de – the biggest killer of men under 45

This needs to change. If you’re struggling, support is out there.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps you develop practical strategies to manage challenges like anxiety and low mood.

CBT empowers people to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier coping skills - making everyday life feel more manageable. 🧠
