Brew Monday is all about connection. Take five, grab a warm drink, and reach out to someone who gets it. Sometimes a cuppa and a chat is the reset we need #mindfulmonday #cypmhparticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

Small daily habits can become powerful acts of self care. Slow down, breathe deeply, and choose one thing today that helps you feel grounded, present and whole. #mindfulmonday #cypmhparticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

As we step into a fresh year, take a moment to pause, breathe, and be present. Mindfulness isn’t about doing more—it’s about noticing more. Here’s to a year of calm, clarity, and connection. #mindfulmonday #cypmhparticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

Life won’t slow down, but you can. Try this: pause for one deep breath before starting your next task. It’s a simple way to reset and stay grounded while the world keeps moving. #MindfulMonday #CYPMHParticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

Research shows negative self-talk can raise stress hormones like cortisol, while kind words calm your nervous system. Speak gently to yourself—your health depends on it. #mindfulmonday #cypmhparticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

2-4% of people in the U.K. have FASD. That matches international studies and shows that FASD affects more people than autism. However, FASD is most often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. FASD is often called a ‘hidden disability.’ #FASDAM2025 #CYPMHParticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies

September is FASD Awareness Month. FASD results when prenatal alcohol exposure affects the developing brain and body. Each person with FASD is affected differently. FASD is a full-body diagnosis that can include more than 400 conditions. #FASDAM2025 #CYPMHParticipation #mpft #childrenandfamilies
