This week marks Grief Awareness week.

Grief comes in all shapes and forms and moves in and out of life in waves. Some days grief can feel all encompassing, other days it can feel a little lighter.

It's important to remember that however you experience grief, there are ways to help you navigate through it. You don't have to go through it alone. πŸ’šπŸ«‚

Putting on a brave face can feel like the only option sometimes.

β€œEveryone’s got their own problems.”
β€œI don’t want to be a burden.”

But the truth is: the people who care about you want to show up for you. They want to listen and be there when things feel heavy. πŸ«‚

Opening up to someone you trust isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s the first step towards feeling lighter. πŸŒˆπŸ’š

This World Children's Day, we would like to focus on the importance of fostering positive mental wellbeing from a young age. 🌱

Research shows that early intervention reduces the chance of escalation of mental health issues. Modelling and encouraging taking care of your mental health in the early years of an individuals' life is so important. πŸ«‚

This is why FDAMH have our Young Person's Service to promote recovery, resilience, and self-management for those young people who may be experiencing reduced mental wellbeing. Learn more about our Young Person's Service here: https://buff.ly/bx4fNaE πŸ’š

✨ SUPPORTER SPOTLIGHT✨

It was a pleasure to have Chris Boom visit us at the FDAMH office today to present his cheque and an opportunity for us to say thank you for his amazing support!

Chris planned and hosted Boom's Big Weekender a couple of weekends ago, where he invited a bunch of talented DJs, singers and musicians to entertain the people of Falkirk all whilst raising money and awareness for FDAMH. We are so pleased to share that Chris' fundraiser generated an awesome Β£1,300 for FDAMH! πŸ‘

We are absolutely blown away by Chris' generosity and support and we hope everyone had a brilliant time at the Weekender! πŸ’š

Sometimes it can feel like the world is becoming more fractured, disjointed and disconnected. World Kindness Day invites us to participate in acts of compassion and care to reinforce that we are all connected by just being human. 🌍

Acts of kindness can be as grand or small as you want - buying a friend a coffee, leaving a loved one a note of gratitude or helping out a colleague or neighbour. πŸ«‚

Showing kindness can be a simple yet powerful way to help boost our mental wellbeing and that of others, strengthen our connections and create a positive community. πŸ€πŸ’š
