Make Inside Feel Better

Every Mind Matters helps you manage and maintain your mental health, as good mental health makes such a difference. It helps us to relax more, achieve more and enjoy our lives more. We all go through ups and downs in life, and experience life changes that can affect our mental health.

Every Mind Matters gives you simple and practical advice to get a healthier mind and get more out of life – from how to deal with stress and anxiety, to boosting our mood or sleeping better. It will help you spot the signs of common mental health conditions, get personalised practical self-care tips and information on further support. You’ll also learn about what you can do to help others.

Every Mind Matters is continuously updated to support people during the COVID-19 outbreak, and has a COVID-19 hub that includes tips and support on how to deal with change, cope with money worries and job uncertainty and how to look after your mental wellbeing while staying at home. It also includes practical tips and videos from experts on dealing with stress and anxiety, boosting your mood, sleeping better and what you can do to help others – including advice for parents and for children and young people.

South Central Ambulance Service needs your help to set up a group to support young people in the counties we serve. We want to be able to provide an opportunity to educate and support young people to have their voice heard on the issues that matter to them.

The Power of Small

A small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference.

The more conversations we have, the more myths we can bust and barriers we can break down, helping to end the isolation, shame and worthlessness that too many of us with mental health problems are made to feel.

Time to Talk Day is the day where the nation gets talking about mental health. This year might look a little different, but at times like this open conversations about mental health are more important than ever.

This years Time to Talk day is taking place on 4th February. Find out how you can get involved by visiting the Time to Change website: https://www.time-to-change.org.uk/get-involved/time-talk-day
