Tomorrow's prompt from the Action for Happiness calendar is simple but powerful:

“Set an intention to be kind to others (and yourself) this month.”

Whether you're supporting a neighbour, reaching out to someone who's struggling, or just being gentle with yourself — small acts of kindness ripple out in big ways 🌊

Your Jurassic Coast Social Prescribing team is here to support you with local groups, wellbeing ideas, and a listening ear. Let’s make August a month of connection, care, and community 💬✨

👇 Tell us how you’re setting your intention today!

It’s the end of Alcohol Awareness Week and if it has made you rethink your drinking, that’s great. Keep it up. If you are still struggling, now it’s time to take action – for yourself and your workplace.
LiveWell Dorset’s team can help you build healthier habits: LiveWell at Work · LiveWell Dorset
🟧 Drink less tip: talk to your workplace about hosting an alcohol awareness session or reviewing social events.

Tired at work? Struggling to focus? 😴
Even a few drinks can lead to poor sleep, low energy, and mistakes at work, affecting our performance and wellbeing.

🟧 Drink less tip: try having at least 3 drink-free days this week. Your sleep, mood, and focus will thank you. Read more tips from LiveWell Coach Dan: https://www.livewelldorset.co.uk/articles/alcohol-and-work/

Carers Week may be coming to an end but the support for carers in our community is ongoing...

We hope that you have found our Information Stations a useful source of support. Thanks to Dorset Libraries for providing space for our Information Stations at Bridport and Lyme Regis Libraries.

We've had a great response at our drop in events at Lyme Bay Medical practice and at Barton House Medical Practice. Thank you to everyone for taking the time to come and speak to us.

Special thanks to Judith Davies for a wonderful breathwork and yoga session.
A reminder that taking a few minutes to sit and focus on your body and breath can make you feel so much more relaxed and focused.

The Jurassic Coast Social Prescribers are here to continue to support carers and their cared for going forward and we welcome self referrals into the service.
You can call us on 01308 428943 or email - jcsocialprescribing@dorsetgp.nhs.uk
