🧠Mental Health Week: Creating Homes, Creating Homes🧠 This Mental Health Week, let's acknowledge the profound connection between stable housing and mental well-being. At Supported Living Gateway, we are committed to creating more homes for those who need them most by bridging the gap between supported living providers and property investors. A safe and secure home is the foundation of good mental health. By collaborating with investors to develop more supported living spaces, we are not just providing roofs over heads - but fostering environments where individuals can thrive, heal, and rebuild their lives. Join us in our mission to support mental health through housing. Together, we can create communities that nurture and uplift everyone. #MentalHealthWeek #SupportiveHousing #InvestInPeople #BuildingHope #SupportedLivingGateway #CommunityWellbeing #TenantSupport #Empowerment #PropertyLeasing #SupportedLiving #MakeADifference

"The best project you will ever work on is YOU." 💪 In the construction sector, we often focus on building and creating but taking time for self-care is equally important. With 87% of the workforce in construction being male, mental health struggles are real, and too often, they go unspoken. This Movember, let's make talking about mental health as normal as any other work conversation. Together, we can break down the stigma and remind each other that self-care is the most valuable investment. 🌱 Let’s look out for each other, starting today. Are you joining the movement? 💙 #PPW #PrincipalityPlastics #Movember #MensHealth #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionCommunity #MensMentalHealth #TheBestProjectIsYou

Seeing the impact of comprehensive reentry programs firsthand, such as those implemented by our grantee, The First 72+, has reaffirmed my belief in the power of holistic support systems. These initiatives focus on skill development, mental health, and community integration, demonstrating that with the right tools, people can thrive. This is a vivid reminder of how our approach to supporting people in communities can have profound, life-altering effects. #CriminalJusticeReform #Rehabilitation

🏡House Shares and Mental Health! 📍I met with Vicky Leung in Oxford who talked me through the ethos behind the Medshare house shares. 📣Vicky’s job is to “make sure our housemates are heard” and be “their voice”. At a time when providing good quality housing is at the top of the government’s agenda, it’s so important to highlight examples of positive renting dynamics. 🍻Beyond a focus on communication, comfort and design, Vicky’s passion clearly lies in fostering an authentic sense of community within and between the Medshare houses. For those who may have just moved to a new area, be too busy with work for social plans or just prefer living with others, finding the right shared house could be life-changing. 💡What does a good quality house share look like to you?
