🔊Exciting Announcement

Mind in Essex has partnered with Active Essex Find Your Active: Move for your Mind, to champion the powerful link between moving our bodies and positive mental wellbeing.

At a time when so many of us are looking for ways to manage stress, lift our mood, and feel more connected, this partnership brings together the best of both worlds - trusted mental health support and a passion for helping people discover movement that genuinely feels good.

Our shared aim is simple - to help more people experience the mental health benefits of being active, find an activity that’s right for them, and feel the positive impact movement can have on everyday life.

We can’t wait to get started, and we’d love you to join us. Find your moment. Find your move. Find Your Active and Move for Your Mind.

If you’re struggling with your mental health but you’re not in the Thurrock or Brentwood area, you’re still not alone 💚

We don't do what we do for thanks or acknowledgement, we just genuinely want everyone to have the same chances and help those who are struggling with their mental health but when we do get feedback it touches our hearts to know that we have helped someone.

If you are struggling reach out - it could change your life 💙

Winter weather often means staying in more, which can lead to extra screen time and scrolling. But remember, what you see on social media is just a highlight reel, not the whole story. Try not to compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s filtered moments. Be kind to yourself 💙

January often comes with a lot of pressure to set goals, make changes, and “start fresh.”

But it’s okay if this month is about resting, recuperating, and taking stock instead.
You don’t have to rush your healing, growth, or plans. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is pause, reflect, and be kind to yourself.

Today is often referred to as Divorce Day – the time of year when many people take steps to end a relationship.

For some, this can bring relief. For others, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or emotionally exhausting.

Divorce and separation can affect mental health in many ways, including anxiety, low mood, grief, and uncertainty about the future. If today feels heavy, please know you’re not alone, and support is available. Be kind to yourself and reach out if you need to. 💙

If you are struggling you can access help and advice on our localised website: https://letstalkaboutsuicide.co.uk/coping-with-separation-or-divorce-for-you-and-your-family/
