Health care workers give so much throughout the year. As Christmas approaches, we're taking a moment to acknowledge their hard work and what might help lighten the load.

On Friday, we swapped our desks for dancing, our emails for celebrations, and reminded ourselves what makes this team truly special!๐
2025 hasn't been easy. The mental health sector continues to face unprecedented challenges, and every placement we've made, every professional we've supported, and every service we've helped to staff has required dedication, resilience, and genuine care.
But Friday night? Friday night was about us.
Seeing our team together in full festive spirit; laughing, celebrating, and genuinely enjoying each other's company, reminded us why we do what we do.
We're not just colleagues filling roles; we're a team that supports each other through the pressures, celebrates the wins (big and small), and shows up for one another when things get tough.
The Christmas spirit was alive and well. After a year of hard work, late calls, and going the extra mile for our CAMHS professionals and the services that depend on them, it felt incredible to let our hair down, raise a glass (or two!), and simply enjoy being together.
To our incredible team: thank you. For your commitment, your compassion, and for making CAMHS Professionals not just a workplace, but a team that genuinely has each other's backs.
Here's to the wins we've shared, the challenges we've overcome together, and the positive impact we'll continue making as we head into 2025. ๐
Merry Christmas from all of us at CAMHS Professionals! ๐

ADHD Awareness Month may be coming to a close, but for many young people and families the journey with ADHD continues every day โ๏ธ
We spoke with Rhiannon McKinnon, our neurodevelopmental specialist here at CAMHS Professionals to hear her perspective on what it's like working on the frontlines of ADHD care. From what you need to work in ADHD services to the misconceptions she still sees every day.
Whether you work in CAMHS, support neurodiverse young people, or are interested in working in ADHD services, this conversation is worth watching!

It's World Mental Health Day! ๐
We asked our team to share one small thing they do to support their mental health... A morning walk. Calling a friend. Setting time aside for yourself.
We're privileged to work alongside mental health professionals everyday, we see firsthand the incredible work that is being done to support individuals through their most challenging moments.
Today feels like the perfect moment to remind everyone (including ourselves!) that mental health isn't about grand gestures. It's often the small, consistent things that make the biggest difference.
We hope you're able to carve out a few moments today for whatever helps you recharge ๐
What's one small thing you do for your mental health?

Did you know that over half a million people in the UK are currently waiting for an ADHD assessment? Behind this staggering statistic are children, adolescents, and their families navigating uncertainty, struggling in school, and waiting for the support they desperately need.
This ADHD Awareness Month, it's important that we all raise awareness about:
๐ The importance of reducing assessment wait times
๐ Supporting families during the assessment process
๐ Creating ADHD-friendly environments in schools and communities
๐ Breaking down stigma through education and understanding
Every young person deserves access to the mental health support that can help them thrive. Together, we can advocate for better resources and shorter wait times.
What steps is your organisation taking to support young people with ADHD?

HAPPINESS AND HEALTH: EXPLORING THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION
In general, happiness is understood as the positive emotions we have in regards to the pleasurable activities we take part in through our daily lives.
Pleasure, comfort, gratitude, hope, and inspiration are examples of positive emotions that increase our happiness and move us to flourish.
In scientific literature, happiness is referred to as hedonia, the presence of positive emotions and the absence of negative emotions.
In a more broad understanding, human wellbeing is made up of both Hedonic and Eudaimonic principles.
The literature on which is vast and describes our personal meaning and purpose in life.
Research on happiness over the years has found that there are some contributing correlational factors that affect our happiness.
These include:
- Time and place
- Personality Type
- Goals and self-efficacy
- Social class and wealth
- Attachment and relatedness
- Attitude towards physical health
- Positive emotions versus negative emotions

Dan Gilbert, author of "Stumbling on Happiness," challenges the idea that we'll be miserable if we don't get what we want.
Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don't go as planned.
