Today we’re recognising World Bipolar Day 💙

A day to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and show support for those living with bipolar disorder. It’s a reminder that mental health matters every single day — not just today.

Bipolar disorder affects people in different ways, with highs and lows that can be incredibly challenging, but with the right support, understanding, and care, people can and do live full and meaningful lives.

Let’s continue to be kind, patient, and supportive. A simple conversation or gesture can make a huge difference 💬

We took full advantage of having the sensory room all to ourselves today! 🤩

From singing and dancing, to playing in the ball pit, squeezing slime balls, and relaxing while watching the bubbles — there was something for everyone to enjoy 💫

Safe to say… we absolutely love it in there! 💙 Aera Support Community Group Aeras Sensory Den

Today we had our very first Easter egg hunt in the sensory room! 🐣🍫

Our service users had to find their “ticket” eggs and trade them in for a chocolate egg of their choice – such a fun twist! Everyone did a brilliant job and got fully involved. Lots of smiles, excitement, and chocolate all round! 💛
They’ll be more Easter egg hunts tomorrow🤩🍫 Aera Support Community Group Aeras Sensory Den

🎤✨ After the sensory room, the girls in the Hub headed out to the Singing Café!

They had such a wonderful time enjoying the music, having a singalong, and soaking up the lovely atmosphere 🎶💃 It’s safe to say there were lots of smiles all around!

We love getting out into the community and making special memories like these 💛Aera Support Community Group
