Mental Health Awareness Week 💚
This week, we are recognising Mental Health Foundation’s Mental Health Awareness Week, which this year focuses on the theme of “Action” reminding us that even small actions can make a big difference to mental health and wellbeing.
At Haven Domestic Abuse Service, we know that domestic abuse and mental health are closely linked. Many survivors experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and isolation as a result of the abuse they have experienced.
Throughout the week, we will be promoting positive mental wellbeing within our refuge and community services through:
💚 Anxiety support sessions
💚 Wellbeing and self-care activities
💚 Creative and therapeutic sessions
💚 Safe spaces to talk and connect
💚 Emotional support from our specialist team
Sometimes, taking action can be as simple as:
✨ Checking in on someone
✨ Asking for support
✨ Taking time to rest
✨ Speaking kindly to yourself
✨ Reaching out instead of struggling alone
No one should feel they have to face things by themselves.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, support is available. Please remember you are not alone.

🧵 Speak Their Name – Memorial Quilt Workshops 🧵

Speak Their Name is a Lincolnshire campaign supporting people who have lost someone to su***de. Through a shared memorial quilt, each handmade square honours a loved one, giving families and communities space to remember, share stories, and show they are not forgotten.

People are invited to take part in workshops across Lincolnshire between May and September 2026, creating a dedicated square that will become part of the county’s memorial quilt.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 GCSE exam season is here, and for many families this can feel like a stressful time.

If your child is revising or sitting exams, remember that how they’re feeling matters just as much as what they’re learning 💙 Simple, everyday support can really help reduce stress:
😴 Good sleep – rest helps memory, mood, and concentration
🏃 Regular exercise – even a short walk can ease tension
🥗 Eating well – balanced meals and snacks help keep energy levels steady

Try to keep routines familiar, offer reassurance, and remind them that nerves are normal. Your encouragement, patience, and understanding can make a huge difference during exam time.

You’re supporting them more than you realise 🌱
