"Busy September? Here's the question I'd ask your team."

What are you doing to switch off this weekend?
How do you take time out?

These should be discussions that you regularly have with your teams, to encourage work/ life balance and managing workload.

After a busy start to the month try one of these tips this weekend:

➡️ Take notice of your surroundings, what do you see?
➡️ Focus on your breathing and consciously slow it down
➡️ Sit for 20 minutes without a device - it's harder than you think

How did you do?

Picture reference: The High Street in St Peter Port in Guernsey, with a display of colorful umbrellas.

Next week it is Su***de Prevention Day on 10th September.

💚 If you ever get at gut feeling that someone is not ok, ask them about it.

💚 Research shows this can make a huge difference to how someone is feeling, and can even interrupt suicidal thoughts.

💚 You make be thinking what next! What if they say they are suicidal?

💚 Stay calm, listen non-judgentally and support them to access services

You can always signpost them to the Samaritans 116 123 who are there to listen 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Why a piece of my heart will always be with the NHS 💚

Having spent a large part of my career working in the NHS as a Public Mental Health Lead, I have delivered a lot of training to health care professionals.

It was a pleasure to revisit one of my longest standing clients, the Work Opportunities Team at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust a few weeks ago.

We spent a great morning together refreshing their Mental Health First Aid skills. It was great to hear how they are applying their training in real world situations within the NHS, and how they plan to take their roles forward.

I look forward to working with you all again soon.
