Five steps to mental wellbeing
Below are five things, that according to research, can really help to boost our mental wellbeing:
 Connect - connect with the people around you: your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Spend time developing relationships with people who genuinely care about you and are good for your mental health.
 Be active - you don't have to go to the gym. Find an activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life. If you are less mobile take up gardening or anything that encourages you to be more active that you like doing.
 Keep learning - learning new skills cam give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. So why not sign up for that cooking course, start learning to play a musical instrument, or figure out how to fix your bike?
 Give to others - even the smallest act can count, whether it's a smile, a thank you or a kind word. Larger acts, such as volunteering at your local community centre, can improve your mental wellbeing. Volunteering gives you a sense of purpose, develops your skills, supports new learning, gets you active and you will meet other people in the same situations as you.
 Be mindful - be more aware of the present moment, including your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you. Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.

Children’s Mental Health Week is a reminder of how important it is that every child and young person feels supported, understood and able to thrive emotionally.

For disabled children and young people, or those with additional needs, mental health can be affected by many things, including access to the right support, experiences in education, health needs, sensory challenges, and feeling different or misunderstood.

If you’re worried about your child or young person’s mental health, these organisations offer trusted information and specialist support:

YoungMinds offers advice and support for children, young people and parents: https://f.mtr.cool/liyrsqlxpj

Mind offers information, guidance and local mental health services: https://f.mtr.cool/pmrirwamci

Beat offers support for eating disorders, including help for families: https://f.mtr.cool/pnxocgigyp

And because children’s wellbeing is closely connected to the wellbeing of the adults caring for them, support for parent carers matters too.

At Contact, we’re here to support the whole family. We offer:

💬 Listening Ear - a chance to talk things through with someone who understands life as a parent carer: https://f.mtr.cool/trlenrfrru
📞 Our free information & advice helpline - providing information and advice on education, benefits, health and social care (Call 0808 808 3555): https://f.mtr.cool/hpbfhvruvi

Looking after your own wellbeing isn’t separate from supporting your child, it’s part of it 💚

Children's Mental Health Week takes place between 9th-15th February and this years theme is 'This is My Place' which aims to support the systems around children and young people to help them feel that they belong.

Here at Cannock Chase Teen ASC we aim to do just that by providing a safe, familiar and neuro inclusive space for young people to meet, make friendships, grow in confidence and to find their tribe and claim their space.

No Pressure. No Judgement. Just Friendship and a Space to Be You

About Us

Cannock Chase District is a very positive proactive community supporting all of our community. This group is a networking group to help improve communication between statutory, private and voluntary service providers to ensure that we know what is going on, when and where, in our district. This information can then be passed on to service users. We aim to be more effective in applying for funds in future, supporting new groups as well as existing members and ultimately providing a better provision for our service users.
