Peer-to-Peer support is transforming mental health care! 💚 Our HEART Manager/Peer Specialist Lauren “Ren” Pelley, CRSP along with Peer Specialist Javita Coleman were interviewed by SJ Mag Media for the article "Shared Pain, Shared Healing." Peer support is a proven mental health model of care in which someone who has a lived recovery experience with mental illness and/or substance abuse works alongside therapists, psychiatrists and case managers. Lauren explains, “Oaks hired me because they see I have a distinct form of knowledge as someone who has been in the shoes of those I serve. My value isn’t in my illness or perceived shortcomings, but because I have gone where many haven’t, and I’ve brought a light back.” Read to learn more! https://bit.ly/4bCE31V 📸 Peer Support Specialist Team at the Oaks Wellness Fair

Hypnotherapist | Happiness Club Trainer | SmartPA Partner | Reducing employee & pupil stress | Teaching resilience tools to improve mental health/wellbeing
A great BBN - BB Networking Medway group meeting this morning. Lovely catching up/networking and learning about car control from Alex Nevill (Chicane Events) for his 10 minute presentation. As this week is #MenthalHealthAwareness I focussed on that for my 60 seconds. Mind 's campaign this year is about no-one being left behind and the stats on need for mental health support are stark. With 1 in 4 of us experiencing a mental health problem each year it's scary that over 2 million people are waiting for NHS mental health services. Since 2017 the number of young people struggling with their mental health has nearly doubled. There's so much evidence that people are feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. There are a range of wellbeing services that can help though and as a wellbeing therapist myself I can help clients to resolve specific issues and/or learn practical tools and techniques to reduce stress, and build their resilience either on a 121 basis, or with group workshops. I work in person, on-site or online - to suit my clients. If you'd like to know more about how I could help you please get in touch. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #happiness

May is the beginning of Mental Health Month, which is a critical time to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and provide support for mental well-being. As professionals, it is essential to prioritize our mental health just as we do our physical health. We can take care of ourselves by practicing self-care, seeking support, or advocating for workplace mental health initiatives. Let's create environments where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported. Together, we can eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and develop a culture of compassion and resilience. #breakthestigma #mentalhealthmonth

May is #MentalHealthMonth, a time to promote awareness, provide resources and education and advocate for the mental health and well-being of us all. This year’s theme is “Where to Start: Mental Health in a Changing World.” Indeed, it can be difficult to know where to begin when seeking mental health care. Sometimes even asking for such care is tremendously difficult because of things like shame, stigma or cost. Group Peer Support (GPS) can be a helpful place to start taking better care of your mental health. We believe EVERYONE deserves a space where they can feel seen, heard, and supported. Research shows that the most important factor which determines physical and emotional health, as well as success, is social support. Learn more or register for a GPS group today: grouppeersupport.org #PeerSupport #MentalHealth

July is #BIPOCMentalHealth Month, focused on the importance of supporting mental wellness in BIPOC communities. Cultural stigma often prevents individuals from seeking help, but together, we can change that narrative. By raising awareness and fostering open conversations, we can break down barriers and ensure that everyone feels empowered to prioritize their mental health. Mental Health America has tools to help you break down stigma around mental health in BIPOC communities, along with other crucial resources, stories, and screenings.
