🍽️ Eat Before You Drink! 🍹

With the weekend approaching, it’s a good reminder: drinking on an empty stomach can make alcohol hit harder and faster — and nobody wants a rough night. Here’s how to line your stomach and help your body cope better:

✅ Protein (chicken, eggs, beans)
✅ Healthy fats (avocado, yoghurt, cheese)
✅ Slow-release carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes, oats)
✅ Fruit & fibre (apples, bananas, salads)
✅ Hydrate! Water and water-rich foods
❌ Avoid too much salt — it dehydrates

Eating well doesn’t “cancel out” alcohol, but it helps you stay safer, feel better, and enjoy the night. 💙

💬 If you’re concerned about your drinking, Change Grow Live offers free, confidential support.

💡 Wondering what happens in a nurse alcohol assessment?
It’s a safe, confidential chat about your drinking, your health, and the support available to you. 💙
It’s not about judgment — it’s about helping you stay well.

💡 Ketamine Awareness 💡

Ketamine is sometimes seen as just a “party drug,” but it can have serious short and long-term effects on your health. From memory loss and blackouts to lasting bladder damage, it’s important to know the risks.

✨ If someone still chooses to use, harm reduction steps like small doses, avoiding mixing, and staying hydrated can reduce — but not remove — the risks.

💬 Remember: support is available, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Change Grow Live offers free, confidential help. 💙

🌟 Ending the week on a high! 🌟
We want to wrap up this week on a positive note by sharing some amazing news and celebrating the incredible work that’s been achieved in our recovery community. 💚

🎓 Foundations of Recovery Graduation Celebration! 🎓

We had an amazing turnout for our recent Foundations of Recovery graduation, where we proudly celebrated 12 incredible graduates who have shown courage, strength, and commitment to their recovery journeys. 💪

The day was full of powerful and emotional moments – from Caroline’s beautiful, heartfelt poem, written especially for the event, to our very own Steve who kept spirits high with his amazing singing throughout. 🎤✨

As part of Recovery Month, this year’s theme "Belonging in Community" really shone through. It reminded us all of how vital recovery is—not just for individuals, but for the wider community. Together, we fight stigma, we build hope, and we show that support is always here.

We were also honoured to welcome the Mayor of Gateshead, who kindly presented certificates to each of our graduates – a special touch that made the day even more meaningful. 🏅👥

To our graduates: you are incredible 💜
To our supporters: thank you 💜
To anyone still struggling: we see you – you’re not alone 💜

💬 Let’s keep building this amazing community, together.

💬 Community & Support Groups in Gateshead
Kooth – online mental health support for young people. Available weekends, 6pm–10pm, with chat-based counselling during those times.

Tyneside Mind Safe Space (Gateshead) – open access, relaxed environment to meet others, take part in wellbeing activities, build coping skills. While the regular group meets on Wednesdays, their support line offers assistance within generous hours.

Peer Talk (Gateshead, Bensham Grove) – a free peer support group for adults dealing with anxiety or depression. You don’t need to book advance — sharing, listening, and encouragement from people who understand.

🌟 Did you know we have a Gold Award for Better Health at Work? 🌟

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised with the Gold Better Health at Work Award — a testament to our ongoing commitment to staff wellbeing here at Change Grow Live.

But what is the Better Health at Work Award?

The Better Health at Work Award (BHAWA) is a public health initiative that encourages employers to improve the health and wellbeing of their workforce. It promotes a proactive approach by recognising organisations that go above and beyond to create a supportive, healthy workplace — one where physical and mental health are prioritised, and staff are empowered to thrive.

Why is this important?
✅ Healthier staff are happier staff – When people feel supported, they're more engaged, productive, and satisfied in their roles.
✅ Lower absenteeism – A focus on health reduces sickness and time off work.
✅ Positive workplace culture – Promotes inclusion, support, and community.
✅ Better outcomes for everyone – Including the people and communities we support.

At Change Grow Live, we know that creating a positive work environment isn’t just the right thing to do — it also helps us deliver the best services possible.

Let’s continue to support each other and keep wellbeing at the heart of what we do 💛
