Over the coming months MHA will be highlighting a number of local community groups and how taking an active part in their activities can bring significant mental health benefits. Don't worry if the featured activity is not for you, we will hopefully have something to suit coming soon.

First up is Swim Free Aberdeen. Its founder George Jamieson has benefitted both physically and emotionally from open water swimming for years and he is keen to involve as many new people as possible. The pics show just how taking part can make you feel and how it benefits existing swimmers.

The next event is on Saturday 2nd July at the Fittie end of Aberdeen beach at 8.30 am with an open-air yoga session before this. More details on the Swim Free Aberdeen page.

Women’s mentrual cycles and their various stages are a part of NATURE
🌸🌸🌸

Tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 there is a documentary with Davina McCall talking about the menopause.

Its important to know symptoms that mimic depression and anxiety (amongst many others) that actually could be more related to oestrogen deficiency not mental health, although the experience can cyclically cause mental health decline.

It’s about time the menopause was understood as natural and not just a woman’s problem as it affects significant others 🌸

It is Mental Health Week 2021 and this year the theme is Nature.

I love being in nature whether walking, talking and connecting with others or enjoying silence. I particularly like being around water also. Since we got our dog ‘Ruby’ we have spent far more time enjoying the outdoors.
We are all part of nature and the more we are connected to it the better we feel physically, mentally and emotionally 🌊🌳🌿☀️🌸🍄🌈🌱🌳🌊
