It’s tough seeing someone you care about going through a hard time - you can feel pretty helpless, right? 😔 But the good news is, there are ways you can try to support them. 1/2
How can I help someone if they're struggling?
offer practical help like chores ( laundry basket) educate yourself look for helpful info ( laptop with mind webpage) offer to go to appointments with them (hugging) ask them how they'd like to be supported (How can I help? sign) listen and don't judge (phone) Same time next week, keep social contact (mugs of tea)

🚶🚶🚶 Walking is free, simple & easy to fit into daily life - walk to work, at lunch or with the dog. Just 10 brisk mins a day can boost heart health, burn calories & lift your mood. It all adds up to your 150 mins of weekly activity! #MagicOfWalking #NationalWalkingMonth
5 benefits of walking

1. It's free
You can walk (almost!) anywhere making it accessible to most people, regardless of income. It’s an affordable and easy way to stay healthy.

2. Reduce stress
Walking is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety which can help regulate sleep patterns and improve sleep quality. It can also reduce the risk of depression.

3. Keeps your heart strong
Being physically active strengthens the heart and improves circulation, reducing the risk of heart and circulatory diseases by up to 35 per cent.

4. Helps to maintain your weight
Regular walking helps maintain a healthy weight, burns calories and helps tone and strengthen your muscles.

5. Reduces back pain
Walking is a weight-bearing activity that strengthens bones and muscles, particularly in the legs and lower back. It can also improve balance and coordination.

While stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can result in poor mental health, and poor mental health can result in stress. In #StressAwarenessMonth, here are a few things that may help ease some stress 💙
Illustration titled "Feeling Stressed?" featuring eight colourful icons suggesting relaxation techniques: spending time in nature, getting sleep, connecting with senses, taking a screen break, being kind to oneself, getting outside, focusing on breathing, and reaching out for support. Each icon is accompanied by a simple, friendly image such as a tree, cloud, sun, and a heart.
