It is natural to feel affected by upsetting events happening around the world. News and global conflict can bring a range of emotions, and everyone responds differently. You may feel distressed, anxious or overwhelmed, or you may want to talk about how you’re feeling.

If you are struggling, support is available. You don’t have to manage difficult feelings alone.

At the heart of the work we do is helping people live healthier, fuller lives – and that includes supporting pathways into meaningful employment.

We’re proud to see colleagues working together to open doors, with five people who have lived experience of our services recently joining our security team.

This , we’re sharing resources developed by our peer support workers to support people affected by an eating disorder, as well as their family and friends, external services and GPs.

A peer support worker or lived-experience practitioner is someone who helps support others in their mental health journey. Many have personal experience with mental health challenges or accessing services, using their insights to inspire hope and promote recovery.

Resources include Q&As, recovery tools and information for GPs on supporting patients who may present with an eating disorder. They are designed to offer practical support, understanding and hope to people living with an eating disorder, as well as the people who care for them 🤝If you or someone you care about is affected, please remember you are not alone.

Happy Mental Health Nurses’ Day! 💙

Today we’re celebrating our incredible mental health nurses and the difference they make to the lives of the people and communities we serve.

At South West London and St George's, our nurses are supported by a team of development nurses who play a vital role in helping colleagues grow and thrive. From professional development to pastoral care and day-to-day support, they are there from day one and throughout every stage of a nurse’s career with us.

We spoke to two of our development nurses, David and Ruth, about the important work they do. Ruth shared: “Creating an environment where people feel encouraged and confident to grow really matters to me.”
