We know that everyone experiences the festive period in their own way and for some of us it may be more difficult than for others.

We came across this brief little post on our feed and it reminded us that however you're experiencing Christmas and New Year, your feelings are valid and it's ok not to feel ok.

It’s Christmas Jumper Day, and we couldn’t resist showing off some of our fantastic Lifelink team in their festive outfits!🎄

🎧Did you know we have guided mindfulness recordings you can listen to whenever?

They’re perfect for taking just a few minutes out of a busy, noisy day -whether you need to de-stress, ground yourself, or simply create a little breathing space in your own head.

You can listen whenever it works for you - at home, on a walk, or even on your lunch break.

We’re proud to be the commissioned DBI provider in Lanarkshire, working alongside Police Scotland and other frontline partners to ensure people in distress get compassionate, timely support when they need it most.

DBI offers an “ask once, get help fast” response with trained officers and health partners identifying when someone is in distress and making a referral to the right third-sector team. Our Lifelink DBI support workers then reach out within 24 hours to offer personalised, community-based help that focuses on safety, problem-solving and building emotional resilience.

This is not a self-referral service. DBI referrals can only be made by trained frontline agencies such as Police Scotland, NHS24, A&E and Primary Care.

We’re grateful for our great DBI team and the continued partnership and for the difference DBI makes across Scotland.

Watch Police Scotland’s video below to learn more about the impact of DBI.
