Tip 1: Take a break and get fresh air ❄️🌿
Even a short walk outside can boost mood, energy, and focus. Try stepping away from your screen, noticing your surroundings, and taking in the colder air, it all helps.

Self-care is a key part of Mental Health First Aid because supporting others starts with supporting ourselves.

A new warning has been issued across the UK after medetomidine, an animal tranquiliser hundreds of times stronger than xylazine, was found mixed into ketamine. Universities in Manchester and Durham have already confirmed contaminated samples.

This matters because people using ketamine have no way of knowing if it contains medetomidine. The risks are extreme sedation, loss of consciousness, slowed breathing, and heightened vulnerability to harm. Medetomidine doesn’t respond to Naloxone, and its effects can last far longer than ketamine alone.

If you or someone you’re with becomes unwell, unconscious, or struggles to breathe, call 999 immediately and put them in the recovery position. Don’t wait to see if things improve.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.
