Free Training - Making Every Contact Count – Wednesday 6th April 22, 10.30am-1.30pm

As part of our CRF Learning programme HVA are pleased to be partnering with One You East Sussex to offer
Free Level 2 MECC training to local groups and individuals.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they
are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things
that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood
of making a real difference this training could be for you. The programme takes place at Jackson Hall and is free.

To book yourself a place on this course, please follow the link: http://www.hastingsvoluntaryaction.org.uk/events

We know that many of you will be feeling unsettled, sad, and anxious following the invasion of Ukraine – and that some of you may have family and friends directly affected by the events over the last week.

If you find yourself needing extra support around your mental health, please reach out to your support networks. You are not alone. And you don’t need to suffer alone.

If you are struggling with your mental health right now and your challenges are unrelated to world events, please don’t hesitate to seek support. Your feelings and experiences are still valid even when others are greatly suffering.

Below is a list of services that you might find useful if you are experiencing any challenges during this time:

• If you think that you may act on suicidal feelings or you have seriously harmed yourself, call: 999 for an ambulance or go straight to A&E

• If you need medical help or advice fast but it is not an emergency, call: 111 or contact your GP to make an appointment

• Sussex Mental Healthline: A 24/7 telephone service offering support and information to anyone experiencing mental health problems including stress, anxiety and depression. Also available to carers and healthcare professionals. Text Relay calls and New Generation Text calls from hearing and speech impaired callers welcome.

Our Wellbeing Centres are always looking for ways to support the mental health and wellbeing of people in our community.

Recently, Southdown Hastings/St Leonards Wellbeing Centre shared this lovely selection of images from RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre

Some of our clients have been attending Mallydams once a month to spend time in the woodland. They've been looking at and learning about wildlife and have also been developing their creative and practical skills, making willow stars and leaf collages .

One of our Recovery Workers said, "Its very beautiful out there , it brings a sense of calm to everyone who attends."

Tell us what being in nature brings you in the comments below!
