We're delighted to introduce a brand new project! Noah Project – support for animal hoarding. Cornwall Mind and RSPCA Cornwall Branch have joined together to deliver a pilot project to support people affected by Noah Syndrome, a complex mental health problem known as animal hoarding disorder. Animal hoarding is when you keep too many animals to provide proper care for. Often, at this time, the person experiencing animal hoarding is overwhelmed but does not seek support. This not only impacts the welfare of the animals in the property but also the person’s own health and wellbeing and can even affect those around them such as family, friends and neighbours. The Noah Project provides wellbeing support for people in both the early and late stages of animal hoarding. The project will address the underlying cause of hoarding and encourage animal ownership that is healthy, safe and sustainable. To make a referral to the Noah Project, please contact: info@rspcacornwall.org.uk Find out more - https://t.ly/kM0xL #mentalhealthawareness #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealth

Gatecrasher alert 😅 Last week Loose Women were on a 25-hour mission to get Britain talking about mental health. Coldplay's Chris Martin decided to crash the party, but he brought some beautiful wisdom along with him! 💙Did you catch any of it?

Do you need help for problems with your relationship with food and body image? An eating problem is any relationship with food that you find difficult. Anyone can experience eating problems - whatever their age, gender, weight or background. EMBER is a project delivered by Cornwall Mind, the NHS Adult Eating Disorder Service and Pentreath Recovery College. We offer support (currently in North & East Cornwall) to help adults struggling with binge eating disorder. You can refer yourself to us for support, you don't need a diagnosis. The project combines 1-1 support with a caseworker alongside a specially designed course that includes CBT, compassion focus, mindfulness, nutrition, psychoeducation and body image work. Through reflective exercises and peer support, participants are enabled to develop alternative healthy coping strategies and more positive thinking.

Have you had the chance to see the stunning Christmas tree outside Truro Cathedral? It is absolutely breathtaking! This incredible tree was generously donated by a local family on behalf of Cornwall Mind. “We know that Christmas can affect our mental health in lots of different ways and it can sadly be a hard time for many. We just hope that this tree can give a little bit of joy, a little glimmer even, to all our community at this time of year.” Richard Budge, Parks, Amenities and Facilities Officer said: "I must say it is the most perfect tree we’ve had outside the cathedral for many years.” We invite you to join us outside the Cathedral on Wednesday 27th November and 4th December, when the Truro Cathedral Choir will sing on the steps from 530pm. It’s sure to be a magical experience. And if Christmas is a difficult time, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Please reach out for support - cornwallmind.org #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #Christmas
