It is Mental Health week and we are talking to all our visitors and attendees in our groups about how to maintain positive mental health. Everyone agrees that good weather is always helpful and now that the sun is coming out it, it boosts everyone’s spirits.
When asking people in our weekly activity groups what positive Mental Health means to them, we have been told ...
Everyone has mental health and need to ensure they look after it and pay it the attention it deserves. For some it is not easy to go out, feel positive and socialise amongst the community. Some need encouragement and support and this is why the Keep Well Team in Ashford Place are always here to encourage those who find it a more challenging. Only this week we had a good example of how our encouragement to come and see us. She came for lunch and met many of her friends and thanked us for making the call. She was very pleased she came in.
We also had Miss Bunford (photo) come to visit us and she reports that good mental health makes her feel “Good and Happy but it takes work and needs to be maintained”.
We continue to work with all who come to see us here in Ashford Place and throughout the community to ensure there are striving to maintain positive mental health. With all the challenges we are facing at the moment such as Cost of Living crisis and health inequalities it can be difficult but we are always here to offer one to one support and a listening ear to those who need it.
