This week is Mental Health Awareness Week (12–18 May), and we want to take a moment to say one thing loud and clear:
👉 You’re not alone.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, low on energy, struggling in silence, or just riding the emotional waves of life, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support.
Health isn't just about looking good. It’s about feeling whole. And that includes your mental health. It's ok to not feel ok. You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Opening up, whether to a friend, a family member, or a professional, can be the first step toward feeling lighter. Talking about how you’re really doing isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength. No struggle is too small, and no story is too much. You're not alone, and you never have to be.
What Helps Us When Times Feel Heavy
💚 A walk outside – even 10 minutes makes a difference.
💚 Talking it out with a friend, a loved one, or a pro.
💚 Saying no without guilt.
💚 Deep breaths. Real rest.
💚 Starting the day with seamoss for natural energy & clarity.
Let's Keep the Conversation Going
This week, we invite you to reach out to someone who might need a check-in - a simple message can mean the world.
Try introducing a small wellness habit into your routine, whether it's trying out meditation for the first time or simply stepping outside for some fresh air. Little acts of care, for yourself and others, can make a big difference over time.
If you’re looking for ways to support yourself or others, the Mental Health Foundation has free resources you can download and share. From tips on starting conversations to ideas for self-care, it’s a great place to begin. You can also join the wider community and get involved in Mental Health Awareness Week by visiting mentalhealth.org.uk.
We hope you can find the time for some self-reflection and a little kindness to yourself over the next few days. You deserve it.
