Harnessing the power of nature to support mental wellbeing this winter

With up to 1.6 million people in the UK affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, our teams are working with the RSPB to help people reconnect with the natural world, even during the colder, darker months.

Over 100 of our healthcare professionals have now taken part in RSPB Nature Prescriptions training, learning how simple moments in nature can boost mood, sleep and cognitive function. From watching the changing sky to enjoying local green spaces like Wren’s Nest or Sandwell Valley, nature can make a real difference.

We’re proud to collaborate with the RSPB and grateful to the players of the People’s Postcode Lottery for supporting this work. Together, we’re helping our communities find calm, connection and wellbeing, one moment in nature at a time. 🌱💚

Blue Monday gets a lot of headlines, but you don’t need a particular day to seek support. If you’re feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, NHS Talking Therapies can help. It’s free, confidential and you can self‑refer.

Start here: https://www.blackcountryhealthcare.nhs.uk/talking-therapies

⚠️ If you need urgent help now call NHS 111 (Option 2). If you have physically harmed yourself, or if you feel your life is at risk, then A&E is the right place to go.

Are you a carer for a family member or friend? Your experiences are vital — and they can help us strengthen the Triangle of Care, a national scheme that sets standards to ensure carers are included and supported by health & social care services.

Black Country Healthcare has joined the membership scheme, and we’re listening. Your views will guide how we improve our support for carers.

📣 There’s still time to share your feedback — the survey closes on 31 January.

🎥 24 hours NOT in A&E.

When you need help, A&E might seem like the obvious choice. But there are many ways to get NHS help for non-emergencies that work around your life.

Get the right care, in the right place, at the right time – and help free-up emergency services for those who need them most this winter.

❄️ What a day. One we won’t forget. ❄️

Snow fell, roads closed, plans changed — and still people showed up.
Some walked for miles to get in and relieve exhausted night teams 🚶‍♀️❄️
Others stayed on longer so colleagues could get home safely 🕰️❤️
Estates and facilities were out early, clearing paths and car parks before most alarms went off 🚜🧤

There were cars dug out, lifts shared, wards kept running — and in the middle of it all, kindness. Smiles. Laughter. Reassurance for patients when it mattered most 🤍

Cold hands. Tired feet. Warm hearts.
This is teamwork. This is compassion.
This is what it looks like when people truly care 💙👏
