Hi, I’m Jo,
I'm a Dramatherapist and intergrative counsellor.

I have pondered the question of why are communities important to our mental health, especially as many often retract from this. Finding the right community can foster a sense of belonging, understanding and acceptance both by others and of ourself. Building connections with others who understand and respect your experiences is incredibly valuable.

For neurodivergent individuals, this might mean connecting with other neurodivergent people through groups, and building neuro affirming connections that can provide practical and emotional support.

For those facing mental health issues, seeking out understanding friends, family, or professionals can make a big difference. Shared experiences create a sense of community, reminding us that we’re not alone in our journey.

For me, those I work with, and the select friendships I hold allow connection, space and decompression and I value these connections in the challenges life can give. ❤️

🪴This week is Mental Health awareness week and the focus is on communities and the positive affect these can have on us.

“Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose.” (Mental health.org)🪴

Following on from my post yesterday, I wanted to touch on the challenges many neurodivergent people face with sensory overload and regulation.
Sensory box creation helps to have go to objects and reminders to support regulation, (and can be a fun creative activity to support processing!!)

Today marks the beginning of 🎉Neurodiversity celebration Week

I am passionate about the need to support and accept those with additional needs and to support personal acceptance. In a world full of expectations and ‘fitting in’ so many need to learn more and recognise the power in our differences.
