Did you know that getting closer to nature can help to protect our mental health? Nearly half of people in the UK told us that visiting green spaces, such as parks, helped them to cope throughout the pandemic. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHeathTips #ConnectWithNature

Making time for movement and exercise can release those ‘feel good’ hormones, that reduce feelings of anger and protect our mental health. How can you bring movement into your day? #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #MentalHealthTips #MentalHealthAdvice #Exercise

This week we've been at South Newing prehistoric house site in Shetland doing some community survey with @mindyourhead. As part of their Suicide Prevention Awareness Week we've been exploring the positive effect engaging with heritage can have on our wellbeing and mental health.

Going at your own pace isn't failing. 💜

What sets #WorldSuicidePreventionDay apart from many campaign days? It is more than raising awareness, it is a challenge to the secrecy & shame that have surrounded suicide. And a moment of commemoration for families whose tragic stories have transformed public understanding.

As you may already know, suicide prevention and #WorldSuicidePreventionDay is something that is very close to our heart as an organisation. Read up on our story in the link below👇⭐️ #MindYourHead #Shetland #MentalHealthMatters mindyourhead.org.uk/about/story

One in every 100 deaths worldwide is the result of suicide. Preventing suicide is often possible and we are all key players in its prevention. This week we'll be highlighting both local efforts and individual action we can take to prevent suicides⭐ #WSPD2022 #MindYourHead
