Mind recently published The Big Mental Health Report 2025 which gives us the latest stats and information on mental health in England and Wales.

The stats are not a great read, but we already knew this.

The figures in this post show the prevelance of poor mental health in England in adults, they are only ever as good as information recorded so they are an approximate.

What are your thoughts on these stats? Why do you think they are so high? Why do you think people struggle with their mental health?

As we can see mental illness is so common, yet some people still shy away from talking about it.

It's still the elephant in the room.

How can it be when it could be your family member or friend that these stats are talking about?

What if you were struggling with your mental health and all you wanted was for someone to notice, someone to ask how you are, but no one does because they don't see the signs, or don't know how to ask the question?

It's everyones business to learn about mental health, not just mental health professionals.

Looking out for each other makes better and stronger communities where we all feel valued and wanted. That in itself can lower the risk factors to poor mental health.

Let me know your thoughts on these stats.

Get in touch if you want to explore this topic in more detail.

How can you support your loved one with their mental health if you've no idea what to look out for or how to start a conversation about how they might be feeling?

We are encouraged to check in with our family, friends, work colleagues.

We are told to ask 'how are you?' twice to get an honest answer.

But how do you respond if they say they are depressed, or having suicidal thoughts if you've no experience of where to take that conversation?

People say 'weren't there any signs?'

What if you don't know what the signs are? Or they were so good at masking that you didn't realise how bad things were?

Mental health is complex, talling about it or initiating a conversation about it can be scary.

Our MHFA course helps to break it down so you understand it better, so you do feel confident to initiate conversations and can spots the early signs to get a person help or just open a safe space for them to talk.

At Nurture Wellness, our aim is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of everyone.

We want to give people the knowledge to look after their own mental health.

As well as giving them confidence to help those around them.

We offer three courses which will do just that:

Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid Refresher

All of these courses are run online and in-person in Canterbury.

We offer open courses which anyone can access and we can come to your organisation and run a closed course tailored for you.

Interested?? Send me a message and we can talk about which course is best for you.

Hey everyone, Jodie here.

I just wanted to give an update on Nurture Wellness as we haven't been around for a while.

2025 was a hard year, I decided to take a step back from our work as I didn't have the mental and emotional capacity to give my business and the people I worked with the attention and support they deserved. Sometimes stepping away is the best option, it was for me.

The good news is the fire has started burning again 🔥 so we are back in business.

We aren't rushing into anything, we are taking it very slowly and doing the things that feel right, what we love and what we are passionate about. So we wont be offering everything we did straight away, some groups will no longer be running and new things will appear. So keep your eyes peeled 👀

Right now its time for me to start planning, get my head back into the books 📚 refresh my knowledge and learn something new 💡

I'm looking forward to seeing what this year brings and it's actually a really lovely thought that I'm back 💛

What are our MHFA courses all about I hear you ask? 🤔

Here is a brief overview, you can find out more through our website or by going to MHFA Englands website.

I am an accredited Instructor member through MHFA England and undergo regular training to make sure my knowledge is up to date and the course is delivered to a high standard. I also bring my own experiences of supporting others with their mental health and of course my own personal experience.

Just because the course is to become a MHFAider, doesn't mean you have to become one. You can use the course to further your knowledge on mental health.

Our Refresher course will keep your knowledge up to date and refreshed!

If you want to chat more to make sure the course is for you, then get in touch.
