From the 15th May – 21st May it is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the theme this year is #anxiety. In our first post this week we are thinking about what anxiety is, how to recognise the symptoms, and strategies and distraction exercises to help ease anxiety 👇

This #TimeToTalkDay, send this message to someone you’re close to. Talking about our mental health doesn’t have to feel heavy. It can simply be regular conversations about how you’re really feeling. Let’s get talking.
Looking forward to another two day youth Mental Health first aid training course. Especially excited to have staff from a local primary school joining us @HXPrimarySchool
