We need more of this

World Kindness Day

Human connection is a central pillar of su***de prevention and doesn’t always have to involve grand gestures. Small actions of kindness and compassion, show you care and make people feel like they matter, and that their needs are worthy of being met.

This isn’t just for one day but this is a good opportunity to think about the acts of kindness that have made a difference to you.

One of our team members was delivering training today and one of the attendees shared that they paid for someone’s shopping at the supermarket.

Someone else also told us how an unknown person arranged a cuppa and cake for them at their local café as a thank you for their efforts in their local community.

Tell us in the comments what actions have made an impact on you.

Children and young people feel grief just as deeply as adults do; they simply express it differently. Sometimes it's through play, sometimes through questions, and sometimes through behaviour that might surprise us.

That's why we created our It's Not Fair online course – to walk alongside you as you support the bereaved children and young people in your care.

The course will help you increase your confidence in discussing children and young people’s grief needs with grieving parents and carers.

If you live in Aberdeenshire sharing link to council mental health survey

We are currently developing a new plan to support mental health & wellbeing and we want to hear from people about what matters most to them.

Mental health is about how we think, feel, and connect with others. Everyone experiences emotions like happiness and sadness — these are part of our mental health. It’s been nearly a year since we last gathered feedback, so we’re reopening the opportunity to share ideas. We’ll also be meeting with groups who have experience with mental health challenges to hear their views.

To help you complete the survey, we have added information about local services and supports. Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership or Aberdeenshire Council funds these. You can find this here - Mental Health and Wellbeing Supports and Services (Aberdeenshire)

Your feedback will help shape future mental health and wellbeing priorities in Aberdeenshire.

The online survey will be available until Sunday 23rd November 2025.

When someone dies by su***de, the impact reaches far and wide. For every life lost, it’s estimated that around 135 people are affected.

This ripple extends into workplaces too, spaces where grief is often unseen, yet deeply felt. We know that the workplace can make a real difference by offering understanding and stability to anyone in the workplace impacted by a su***de.

That’s why we're welcoming the launch of the BS 30480:2025 – Su***de and the Workplace: Intervention, Prevention and Support for People Affected by Su***de.

This new British Standard, available free to all organisations, marks an important step toward helping employers respond to su***de with care, confidence, and humanity. It offers clear guidance on how to:

💜 Put in place sensitive and systematic support measures
💜 Communicate responsibly and compassionately after a loss
💜 Recognise when specialist support may be needed

Because every workplace should be a place where people feel safe to talk, to grieve, and to find support.

It’s been an amazing journey and now onto next stage seeing clients and hopefully a placement to achieve the clinical hours element.
