From 11th-17th May, we are slowing down to focus on mental health awareness. This year’s theme is about taking action 🧠💗

We really believe in the power of doing small things to move your mental health in a positive direction. Some examples include:

Drinking a glass of water
Moving your body for a few minutes
Talking to someone about how you are feeling

can be complex, and one small action on its own might not solve everything. But it can be a manageable “next right thing” to take you a step closer to peace and hope

Depression is not always obvious, even to people living with it.

You may still manage to get through a day at work, fulfil your daily responsibilities, and even have banter with friends on the weekend.

Underneath, though, you may feel a persistent sense of sadness or numbness about your life. As things seem “okay” on the surface, you may not feel safe to share your feelings.

If this is you, we’d like to gently encourage you to reach out to someone for support. What you are going through is a normal human experience, but not one you need to go through on your own.

There are things you can do to make life feel enjoyable and hopeful once more. Whether with a loved one or a professional clinician, it all begins with an honest conversation.

Difficulties associated with ADHD and autism are often in the spotlight, but what about the strengths? 💪

One of these is which allows autistic people and ADHDers to zone in on a single topic or task for a prolonged period of time.

It can feel like:

• Losing track of the time
• Getting into a deep “flow state”
• Lack of awareness of your surroundings

Though it can be tiring, the result of this deep concentration can be high productivity levels and extreme expertise in topics of interest.

Do you experience this neurodivergent trait?
