Today is World Mental Health Day, the Mental Health Foundation work towards good mental health for all; as everyone knows, prevention is better than cure. Everything they do is focused on protecting people's mental health π
Top tips for staying mentally well:
π£ Talk about your feelings. Just being listened to can help you feel supported and less alone with any problems youβre going through.
π€ Get a good nightβs sleep. Sleep and mental health are closely linked: mental ill-health can affect your sleep, and poor sleep can affect your mental well-being.
π Eat well. A balanced diet can improve your sense of well-being and your mood.
ππΌββοΈ Stay active. Physical activity is not only good for your body, but itβs also great for your mind.
π©π½βπ€βπ©πΌ Supportive friends can help you deal with the stresses of life, make you feel cared for and offer a different view from whateverβs going on in your head.
Here at CK, we operate an open door policy with access to trained mental health first aiders for anyone who needs support or advice, or just someone to talk to π
Remember it is okay to not be okay, today and any other day.
