Today is World Mental Health Day! π
Our support services are designed to offer a friendly and warm environment where individuals can relax and be themselves, and Wellbeing activities are embedded to help to reduce anxiety and reduce stress.
π₯° Our Speech & Language Therapist, Kirsten Lamb, has been working with the Gate trainees to create Comfort Keyrings. These keyrings feature uplifting pictures and affirmations, perfect for a quick pick-me-up. The trainees even personalised them with sensory elements like fidget toys.
π΄ We were also delighted to welcome back @thehoofgangexperience and their therapy ponies for the young people and trainees in Gate, Vibe and our Sensational Learning Centre. We all had an amazing time bonding with these gentle creatures!
These activities are just a glimpse of how weβre fostering an environment where mental health and wellbeing are always at the forefront. By creating spaces where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered, we continue to prioritise the wellbeing of everyone we support.
