By now, many will have finished for the Christmas period and have plan to enjoy the festivities. We hope you are one of these people and are looking forward to the days ahead.

Here at Focusing Minds however, we know that Christmas isn't the fun-filled, festive occasion many others experience.

Today, we send love and support to all those who have had a challenging year, have experienced loss, are grieving, living in a challenging home environment or battling mental illness.

We hope you find love and peace over the festive season. Check back tomorrow where we will provide details on who can provide help and support over the next week or so if required.

What's he getting up to now!? Today our elf is attempting to become a master baker!

Learning a new skill, or partaking in a hobby, can be a good distraction technique when you're feeling emotionally dysregulated.

Remember though, always seek help if you're struggling with your mental health or wellbeing.

We love Star Wars...does anyone else like Star Wars? One thing is for sure, we wouldn't mess with Darth Vader!

Our latest Elf on the Shelf has done exactly that. We wouldn't advise it and certainly feel it's not good for positive wellbeing!

17/12/2025

What's your elf being getting up to lately? Ours is very much being health and safety exec!

Don't worry parents/carers - it's nearly over for another year!

16/12/2025

Everyone needs a little help from their friends now and then, right? Our latest elf has this in mind, enlisting the help of Woody, Jessie (and a few inflatable reindeer!).

Having someone to talk to about mental health and wellbeing is incredibly useful. If you're the friend, remember to actively listen, be empathetic and don't judge - it's all part of the person-centred approach we use here at Focusing Minds...and to great effect.
