Have you heard of ice age theory?❄️

Something as small as a 2 degrees change each year can result in massive transformations.

Introducing small health habits into your life build into bigger changes. Soon your whole outlook has changed.

Instead of trying to make big changes, start with small habits that grow into bigger things.

Summer is finally here!😎

It's the ideal time to take advantage of our Walk & Talk or Dog Walking therapy sessions.

Sitting down with a counsellor can seem intense and it's important that you feel comfortable enough to open up.🫶

The sunshine’s back… and so are the summer plans!☀️

Longer evenings, days out, BBQs, beach walks, and making memories… sometimes it’s the little things in summer that can give our mood the boost we’ve needed.

Having plans to look forward to, getting outside more and reconnecting with people can make such a positive difference to our wellbeing.💛

So tell us… what are your favourite summer activities?

If you work with children or young people and see the impact of inadequate mental health services, then please click the link and complete this short online survey. Your frontline insights are essential to shape a strategy grounded in lived experience so it doesn’t become yet another government service that misses the real need.

BASW welcomes the announcement of a new cross-government Mental Health Strategy for England that includes a renewed focus on early intervention and a more holistic lens for assessing and improving mental health outcomes. 👏

Throughout the passage of the Mental Health Act 2025, we repeatedly urged Ministers and MPs to radically shift towards prevention – treating people earlier and faster, and supporting those with mental health conditions to live a full life and stay active in education, work, family life and their communities.

The strategy is a pivotal opportunity for these ambitions to be realised, and we'll be using the call for evidence to make that strong case.
