The sun leaves the mill early as winter comes in. Stunningly beautiful day, warmth in the sun

Don't let your anxiety or depression make you feel like a burden.
You are never a burden and asking for help is brave and strong.

It's not all doom and gloom in care homes 🍻

It's good to plan for the legal and family issues which may occur in later life but many people put it off. If you have questions on legal issues such as Power of Attorney, our Helpline can offer advice and support.

🗣️@vivek_murthy: “Human relationship is as essential as food and water. Just as hunger and thirst are our body’s way of telling us we need to eat and drink, loneliness reminds us when we need to connect.”

We have heard from families concerned about a significant deterioration in the condition of loved one after months of lockdown, especially among those living with dementia.
Safety is a priority, but it's important that care home residents don't suffer.

Join in the discussion on the rights of unpaid carers of people living with dementia, if you can. It's an important issue we need to address.

Not quite sure when we will see social prescribing in Sutherland? but for the time being , we are here at Sutherland Care Forum offering our services to local communities in east and central Sutherland

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

"#SocialPrescribing can help a range of people, including those with long-term conditions, mental health struggles, isolation and complex social needs. As the #NHS continues to support #Covid patients, link workers will remain vital."

Loneliness is a subjective and emotional response. And we need to better understand its emotional impact on individuals.

Our new report #PsychologyOfLoneliness looks at how we can use psychology to help the millions of us who feel lonely: https://t.co/VKQxLMjLIS

How was your day at work? Today, I was spat on and sworn at.

My job is to keep you and your community safe, it’s also to get home safely to my 3 year old daughter.

Abuse, insults, aggression, threats. These are #NotPartOfTheJob

[SutherlandCForum @SutherlandForum]

Lovely sentiment to end a busy day

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

You are human beings, I'm a human being; you want a happy life, and I want a happy life. But I think that aim will not be fulfilled only on the basis of material values; what we all want is affection and what we all need is to be more warm-hearted.
