🌍 World Mental Health Day | 10 October 💚

Today is a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and those around you. A small conversation, a walk outside, a few minutes of mindfulness, or simply reaching out to someone can make a big difference. Remember, it's okay not to be okay, and it's okay to ask for help.

💚 Believe in people. Be kind. Reach out. Listen.

For Stoptober, we’re looking at the bad news and the good news when it comes to smoking 🚭

The bad news? Smoking can affect far more than your lungs. It can impact your mood, circulation, appearance, finances and the people around you too.

The good news? Your body starts recovering after you stop, with benefits for your health, your wallet and the people around you 💙

If Stoptober has got you thinking about cutting down or stopping smoking, our Tameside Stop Smoking Service is here to support you.

🚭 Investing in the future of stop smoking support

Our teams from CGL Be Smoke Free Manchester and CGL Tameside Stop Smoking Service attended the Smoking Cessation & Health Conference (SCaH) 2026 this week in Birmingham, alongside other CGL smoking services across the country learning from leading experts on the latest evidence, innovation and best practice in to***co dependence treatment.

From personalised approaches to quitting smoking, to the latest research on va**ng and to***co harm reduction, we're bringing valuable insights back to our local services.

By continuing to learn and develop, we can ensure people across Manchester and Tameside receive the best possible support to quit smoking, improve their health, and live smoke free. 💙
