๐Ÿ’š Headspace at The Hub โ€“ Celebrating World Mental Health Day Together ๐Ÿ’ฌ

We were so pleased to be part of the Headspace event at The Hub at St Mary's on World Mental Health Day, bringing people together to connect, chat, and share support around mental health and wellbeing. ๐ŸŒฑ

A huge thank you to Hayley, the Community Engagement Officer, and her amazing team for creating such a welcoming space for open conversations. It was wonderful to connect with Pathway Project, Andys Man Club Lichfield, Ben from Burton and District Mind , and Clive from Maximus โ€” all doing incredible work in our community. ๐Ÿ’™

Events like this remind us that when we come together as a community, we can break down stigma and remind each other that itโ€™s always okay to talk โ€” and even better to listen. ๐Ÿ’ฌโœจ

๐Ÿ’š Today is World Mental Health Day ๐Ÿ’š

At Staffordshire Network for Mental Health, we believe that every conversation matters and sometimes, simply being there for someone can make all the difference.

This reflection from our wonderful volunteer Sidney captures that beautifully:

โ€œI am a volunteer at Staffordshire Network for Mental Health, and I volunteer every week at Chatty Corner because I care. I care about people. I care about how theyโ€™re feeling, especially on the days when they feel like nobody else does.

Mental health is something that affects all of us in one way or another. We all have days when weโ€™re not okay. And we all need someone to talk to sometimes without judgment, without pressure, just someone whoโ€™ll listen.

Thatโ€™s what Chatty Corner has given me the chance to do, to be that person for someone. Sometimes itโ€™s just having a chat over a coffee, checking in with someone whoโ€™s having a rough day, or sharing a little bit of hope with someone who feels lost.

And I genuinely enjoy it, not because itโ€™s always easy, but because it matters. Volunteering also reminds me to slow down and really see people. In a world where weโ€™re always rushing, a simple conversation can mean more than we realise.

And thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m here. Thatโ€™s why I keep coming back. Because I believe in what weโ€™re doing, and in the power of connection, right here, in spaces like this.โ€

Thank you, Sidney, and to all our incredible volunteers, supporters, and friends who help make our community a place of hope and understanding. ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ’š Weโ€™d love to see you at our Headspace Hub event The Hub at St Mary's, a space to connect, reflect, and celebrate the power of conversation.

Letโ€™s keep reminding each other that itโ€™s okay to not be okay and that no one should face tough days alone. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’™ Weโ€™re so proud to share this momentโ€ฆ

Our Journey to Wellbeing for Ukrainians (J2WfU) project has been featured in Lichfield Live, highlighting the incredible strength of people who are rebuilding their lives here in Staffordshire.

This project is about so much more than wellbeing โ€” itโ€™s about creating a safe, understanding space where people can feel heard, supported, and hopeful again. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

Delivered in peopleโ€™s own language by our wonderful facilitator Svitlana, the programme helps participants share experiences, build connections, and discover new ways to care for their mental health.

Weโ€™re deeply grateful to everyone whoโ€™s made this project possible Community Foundation for Staffordshire & Staffordshire County Council and to Lichfield Live for helping us raise awareness of this vital support. ๐Ÿ’™

A special Chatty Corner Meet Up hosted by ourselves โ€“ a safe space to connect, chat, and share with others

โ„๏ธ Staying Well in Winter โ€“ Community, Connection and Compassion โ„๏ธ

SNfMH were delighted to attend the Staying Well in Winter events โ€” a wonderful opportunity to connect with local residents, services, and community partners, and to share more about the support we offer at Staffordshire Network for Mental Health.

Our team had a busy and rewarding day, speaking with many attendees about emotional wellbeing, bereavement support, and ways to stay mentally well throughout the colder months.

Events like these remind us how powerful community spaces can be. A simple conversation can lead to hope, connection, and support โ€” especially during the colder, more isolating months.

Weโ€™d like to thank all the organisers, partners, and attendees who made this event such a success. Together, weโ€™re helping people across Staffordshire to stay well, stay connected, and know that support is always available. ๐Ÿ’š
If you or someone you know needs mental health or emotional wellbeing support, please donโ€™t hesitate to reach out. You can find more about our services and how we can help at ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://snfmh.org/contact
