The CIPD in Mid Scotland’s Post

Movement is this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme. Did you know movement can be more challenging for many neurodivergent people? For example, due to differences in proprioception, sensory sensitivity, and co-occurrences like hypermobility. It’s important to remember that movement and exercise are not one size fits all and can be harmful for some individuals. Need emotional support? LawCare - the mental health charity for the legal sector is there for you.

🧠💙✨ Embracing Mental Health Awareness Week 2024! ✨💙🧠 This Mental Health Awareness Week, let's break down barriers and foster conversations that empower, uplift, and inspire. In a world where the pressures of daily life can sometimes feel overwhelming, let's prioritise self-care and remove the stigma surrounding seeking help when needed. Embrace the courage to ask for support and extend a helping hand to those in need. Mental health is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Each individual's experience is unique, and it's essential to respect the diverse range of emotions and challenges that we may encounter along the way. As we come together to raise awareness and promote understanding, let's commit to fostering a culture of kindness, acceptance, and inclusivity. Together, we can create a world where mental health is valued, supported, and celebrated. Join the conversation, lend a listening ear, and let's embark on this journey of healing and growth, hand in hand. #NoMindLeftBehind #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BreakTheStigma Mind Source: Mind https://www.mind.org.uk/ Remember, together, we can make a difference. 💙✨🧠

Please can I ask you to reshare my post: I want to take a moment to talk about mental health. It's a topic that we don't discuss enough, but it's important that we do. Sadly, I've witnessed the devastating impact that suicide can have, with four people in previous years and three now in 2024 alone taking their own lives. I would like to make a difference, even if because of this post it helps just one person, it would of done its job. If you're struggling, please know that it's okay to reach out for help. You don't have to go through it alone. There are resources available, such as www.mind.org.uk and www.samaritans.org that can provide support. Please let's not forget to check in on each other. It takes just one minute to ask someone if they're okay and then to ask again, it could make all the difference. Let's start the conversation and support each other. #mentalhealthawareness #supporteachother #suicideprevention #samaritans #mind

Our figures from last year compared to our numbers seven months in of 2024 119,471 Men have attended #ANDYSMANCLUB WITH 12,470 MEN walking through the doors of AndysManClub groups face to face and online. At the beginning of the year we had 161 AMC venues - we now have 200+ with more to come before the year's out. we may hit 220. Yes these are amazing figures. More men are coming forward to talk about their problems without prejudice or judgement. It is all about #thatoneman. Positive that Men are turning to AndysManClub and other groups to get help. Sadly numbers are increasing. Suicide is increasing so on average 6000+ Men women and children are feeling that they have no other options but to end their lives. I for one know that talking about personal issues really helps I will keep promoting and raising awareness for men's mental health.

This week in the UK is Mental Health Awareness Week. I am a huge advocate of open conversations around mental health. We should all be talking to each other, supporting each other and feel able to ask for help when needed. In a study by Mind they found that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year in England, and 1 in 6 people support a mental health issue such as depression or anxiety in any given week! So please, do what you can to support your family, friends and colleagues – and remember that there is no shame in seeking support. If you know someone who may be struggling, are struggling yourself, or are just wanting to get some information & tools here are some useful links: Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/ Shout: https://giveusashout.org/ Samaritans: https://lnkd.in/eikf3ems Rethinking Mental Illness: https://lnkd.in/eiEVdycA Centre for Mental Health: https://lnkd.in/e8CS5p7V #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #support
