Do you live with one or more mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, or a mood disorder? Do you struggle with alcohol or substance abuse? Are you neurodivergent and looking to turn a perceived weakness into a source of strength? The nonprofit at which I work, Mind Blossom, is on a mission to empower people’s mental wellbeing through psychoeducation and community engagement. We utilize evidence-based methods to help people understand themselves and others in ways that are proven to enhance mental health, prevent mental illness, and improve life satisfaction in all areas of life.

We are happy to announce the arrival of the YMCA England & Wales Manifesto Puzzle to YMCA Cheshire. Some pacesetters are already arranging and supporting the initiative and lending a voice to the cause. Amongst the 5 key areas covered by the manifesto, this month lays emphasis on the wellbeing of young people. YMCA's initiatives across England and Wales are making a significant impact, supporting over 110,000 young people annually. These initiatives, which include school-based counselling and open-access youth services, have proven to be effective mental health interventions. The success of these programs underscores the importance of the recommendations YMCA is advocating for the next Government to adopt. Enhanced mental health support can mitigate school suspensions and exclusions, help young people develop essential life skills, and reduce loneliness. YMCA’s supported housing and school-based counselling provide crucial assistance to vulnerable youth, including those in care. YMCA urges the Government to implement these recommendations to build a robust mental health support system, improving the wellbeing of young people across England and Wales. Are you in Crewe or environ? With your support, we can get young people’s priorities back on the agenda. Join our campaign for change. 

🌱 Swipe Right for Nurturing Connections 🌱 In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to seek out and cultivate relationships that nurture us, much like the familial bonds we cherish. At Bringing Up, we emphasize the importance of mothering and connections that transcend traditional definitions of family. Every day, we have the opportunity to create strong, supportive networks that can enhance our well-being and combat feelings of loneliness. Positive social connections can significantly improve mental health, helping us manage stress and cope with life’s challenges. Let’s embrace the idea of “swiping right” not just in dating but in all our relationships.

Today, on World Humanitarian Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible work we do as humanitarian workers and the impact we make every day. Our dedication to supporting those in need is truly fulfilling, but it’s also important to recognize the emotional and mental challenges that come with this work. As someone who is deeply involved in humanitarian efforts, I understand firsthand how demanding and draining this field can be. It’s crucial for us to prioritize our own mental health to sustain our resilience and effectiveness in the long run. Self-care, seeking support, and maintaining a balanced approach to our work are essential practices that help us continue making a positive impact. Let’s celebrate our collective efforts and remember to take care of ourselves as well. Always remember, that you can’t pour from an empty cup. #WorldHumanitarianDay #HumanitarianWork #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare
