Are you aware Parental Minds have a Parent+ Support Hub?

They are informal, café-style sessions.

The hub is designed to create a space for the caregiver, sharing hints and tips and it is somewhere to be ‘heard’ in a relaxed environment.

The Parent+ Support Hub is for Caregivers who support family, friends or colleagues with mental health issues.

Weekly Teams-based peer support hub too!

East Devon Children's Centre provides a range of targeted Early Help services to families with children aged 8 years and under.

Early Help can be provided in the most complex of circumstances as well as the simplest. Early Help means responding promptly if a child is at immediate risk of harm (or has other significant or complex needs), as much as it means responding to a need which only requires advice or guidance.

The Children's Centres in East Devon are in Axe Valley, Exmouth, Honiton, Ottery St Mary and Sidmouth.

Early Help means taking action to support a child, young person or their family early in the life of a problem, as soon as it emerges. It can be required at any stage in a child’s life from pre-birth to adulthood, and applies to any problem or need that a family needs support to resolve. It also applies to all children and young people, with any form of need.

Filling up your own cup as a parent

Let’s face it. Parenting is hard. You’re juggling so many different roles and responsibilities. You have so much to think about and do.

As a parent, it’s easy to fall into the trap of always putting your children’s needs before your own. You race from one task to the next - the list is endless! It’s easy to get overwhelmed and feel completely drained! You’re only one person after all!

It’s like that red blinking warning on your phone telling you the battery is depleted and that your phone will shut down any second unless it’s plugged in and recharged. You can’t run on empty.

It’s the same case when it comes to your emotional state and your own energy. You can’t run on empty. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You need to fill your own cup first.

So, what does it mean to fill your own cup as a parent?

It means:
- taking care of your own needs first before you can be a good parent to your children.
- giving yourself what you need before you can give your children what they need.
- nourishing your body, mind and soul to feel whole enough to give to those whom you love.
- caring for your own self and your own mental health.
- noticing the warning signs that show up when you’re running on empty

Pockets of Peace - What's your pocket of peace?

Over the last 2 months we have shared examples of ways we can create our own pockets of peace - small moments we can take time for ourselves, to pause, to reset, to reflect, to catch our breath.

Not to be seen as another thing to add to the to-do list but small ways we can reduce overwhelm and stress in a busy world.

What pockets of peace have your tried and what would you like to continue with?

Pockets of Peace - Mindful Eating

Mindful eating is an approach to food that focuses on being fully present while you’re eating.

Some studies suggest that mindful eating can promote a healthier relationship with food.

Eating mindfully may also help regulate appetite, aid digestion and make eating an enjoyable and pleasurable experience.

It also increases awareness of your thoughts, senses and feelings during and after you eat. It means:

Using all your senses to choose to eat food that is both satisfying to you and nourishing to your body.

How can I eat more mindfully?

Slow down when eating
Chew your food well and take time to pause while you’re eating by putting your cutlery down between each mouthful. Slowing eating can allow your body to recognise when it is full, it takes around 20 minutes for this process to occur.

Pockets of Peace - Self-Reflection

Self-reflection is like a mental sanctuary, engaging our logical minds when emotions threaten to overwhelm us.

it might be uncomfortable at times – looking inward often is.

But the clarity it brings is worth the discomfort. It's like cleaning a wound; it might sting initially, but ultimately it promotes growth and healing.

- Improve self awareness
- Help you practice mindfulness and be present with yourself at the moment
- Figure out your next steps and how you want to respond to situations
