It’s Dementia Action Week!

Did you know that research suggests up to 45% of dementia cases may be linked to modifiable risk factors? 🧠

Some examples include:
💙 Staying physically active
💙 Managing blood pressure & cardiovascular health
💙 Supporting hearing health
💙 Staying socially connected
💙 Prioritising sleep and wellbeing
💙 Keeping mentally engaged

This Dementia Action Week, we’re highlighting the importance of awareness, education, and small changes that may support long-term cognitive wellbeing.

For today’s Mental Health Awareness Week activity, Team TEP “planted our worries” together 🌱

We each wrote down a small worry or stressor on a piece of paper and planted it beneath our sunflower seeds as part of a mindful gardening activity 🌻

🌿 Research suggests that gardening and spending time in nature may help to reduce stress, support relaxation, encourage mindfulness, and positively impact emotional wellbeing.

For today's Mental Health Awareness Week activity, we decorated plant pots and coasters! We enjoyed having some time to wind down, catch up with each other, and be creative🌟

🌻 Research has shown that creative activities, such as painting and drawing, can be a really useful way to reduce anxious thoughts, feel grounded, and enhance confidence and self-esteem.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, Team TEP have organised a week of daily activities to help support our mental wellbeing 🌿

🌻 Today, we took part in a calming meditation session led by our lovely Secretary, Frances. It was a wonderful opportunity to pause, slow down, and focus on grounding ourselves in the present moment. We also enjoyed learning a little more about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness for mental wellbeing.

Even a few mindful moments in the day can make a meaningful difference 💙
