SIM CAMBRIDGESHIRE LAUNCHES JULY 1ST

Its Mental Health Awareness Week
18/05/20
It is Mental Health Awareness Week.
In these difficult times, it is extra challenging to stay mentally well. Isolation is a challenge for us all. We are social animals and need contact with other people.
This year's theme is KINDNESS so why not be extra kind this week and make one of the following promises:
1. Contact someone you haven't contacted for a while, just to say hello.
2. Forgive someone who you need to forgive. Forgiveness is a great gift to give yourself as much as the person you are forgiving.
3. Ask someone this week about their mental health.
4. Talk about your mental health with someone...perhaps for the first time.
5. Cook a meal for your family and discuss mental health at the dinner table.
6. Make a mental health quiz and test your family one evening.
7. Discuss the phrase 'Bless others and you will be blessed yourself' (is kindness a two way process?)
8. Talk to someone in the street or perhaps in a queue...a complete stranger! Make conversation!
9. Tell someone at work you really appreciate them or admire them.
10. Look in the mirror and tell yourself 3 things you like about yourself.
As our amazing high intensity teams continue to support our most intensive crisis care clients despite the current pandemic, I wish you all a safe, kindness filled week.
