Mental Health Awareness Week is just over a month away 📅

This year, we’re bringing awareness to the fact that mental health is everything. It’s more than just a small part of our lives. It’s connected to every little thing we do, every place we go and every person around us.

Spring has certainly sprung in Rochdale!
These simple tips for taking notice of nature are the perfect way to lift your mood this season! We're loving seeing the colourful flowers and blue skies 🌷🌞

#Spring #TakingNotice #MentalHealthTips #RochdaleMind

A lot of us like the longer, warmer spring days. But not all of us. We can still experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in spring.

Seasonal affective disorder affects people differently at different times of year. Just because the days are getting brighter doesn’t mean you’re going to feel brighter. Sometimes it’s the opposite. Remember if you’re impacted by the changing season, you’re not alone 💙

April is #StressAwarenessMonth 🌿
Stress looks different for everyone, and it’s so important to talk about it and learn from each other. All month long, we’ll be sharing tips and info about how stress affects our wellbeing. Keep an eye out for new posts every week 💙
