SAD- my experience

As the seasons change and the days get shorter, many of us notice a shift in our mood and energy. For me, this time of year can be particularly tough. I often feel more tired and lethargic, and mornings can bring a wave of anxiety when the whole day stretches ahead. Everything feels that bit harder - small jobs become bigger, and I find myself with less patience and more overwhelm.
Over time, I’ve learned a few things that really help me manage these feelings:
🌤️ I try to plan something for the morning to get myself up and out - it makes a big difference to my mindset. I also try and listen to the radio whilst I get ready- music always makes me feel happier. If I can I will spend time with friends or family to make sure I am busy, so those long days don’t drag.
🧣 I prepare for the weather, so it doesn’t become a barrier: umbrella, hat & scarf are ready to go.
🕯️ Evenings are for comfort - candles, my favourite wax scents, a long hot bath with a podcast or music playing, blankets, and my trusty slow cooker make dark nights feel cosier.
It’s not always easy, but I’m learning to see the good in this time of year too. The changing leaves make for lovely walks - even with kids, it can be fun to collect things, do a bit of foraging, or just enjoy the sensory side of autumn. And on those rainy days, there’s nothing better than curling up for a movie marathon (or my favourite - a good series binge) with hot chocolate and popcorn.
Let’s not forget the little celebrations that brighten these months- Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas… little things to look forward to that breakup the darker days.
If you’re finding the darker months difficult, please know you’re not alone. SAD is common, and support is available. Be gentle with yourself, reach out when you need to, and find comfort in the small things that make you feel grounded.
And remember that spring always comes again. 🌸

🧠 November is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠
At Space2BHeard, we’re standing with men everywhere to break the silence around mental health.

A Personal Reflection on Men’s Health and Connection
By Ben Bradshaw - Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (TA) & Valued Minds Assessment Officer

Every November, there’s a welcome focus on men’s health, particularly on talking, checking in and challenging stigma. I am often reminded that men don’t always need to be told to talk, they need to feel safe enough to be heard.

It is common for men to carry messages about what it means to “be a man.” Be strong. Don’t cry. Sort it out yourself. These rules can make it hard for men to reach for help, or even to recognise when they need it.

I am also familiar with these rules, of what a man “should” be. I’ve wrestled with the same ideas about masculinity that so many of my clients bring into the room. I’ve lost three brothers to mental health related deaths and those losses continue to shape my understanding of how urgent these conversations really are.

What I’ve learned, personally and professionally, is that men often find ways to express pain without using words. Sometimes through withdrawal, anger, humour or silence. Beneath it all is often a longing to be understood and to connect. In my work, I hope to create a space where feeling doesn’t equal failure and vulnerability is met with respect.

Men’s health also extends beyond emotional wellbeing. Physical health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, heart disease and diabetes remain leading causes of death for men, often compounded by a delay in seeking help. The same cultural scripts that tell men not to show emotion can also stop them from booking a check-up or mentioning symptoms that worry them.

This Men’s Health Awareness Month, let’s challenge the quiet assumptions that tell men to tough it out, and instead remind them that asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. I know this message is shared a lot, but I believe this is a broken record that needs to keep spinning.

🌿 Holding Space for Ourselves: Staff Wellbeing at Space2BHeard CIC

At Space2BHeard, our mission is rooted in accessibility, connection, and care. Every day, our team shows up for others—listening deeply, supporting thoughtfully, and creating safe spaces for personal development and healing. But behind that work is a simple truth: we can only hold space for others when we also hold space for ourselves.

A Culture of Care

Wellbeing isn’t a box we tick—it’s a culture we nurture. We believe that staff wellbeing is not just about avoiding burnout; it’s about fostering a workplace where people feel seen, valued, and supported. That means creating time and space for reflection, encouraging open conversations, and recognising the emotional labour that comes with our roles.

Everyday Moments That Matter

We’ve learned that wellbeing often lives in the everyday. It’s the quiet pause between sessions, the shared laughter in the kitchen, the handwritten note left on a desk. These moments may seem small, but they build trust, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Support That Evolves

Our wellbeing practices are shaped by listening. From clinical supervision and peer support to flexible working and creative outlets, we continue to adapt based on what our team needs. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—because wellbeing is personal, and our support should reflect that.

Our investment

We actively seek out opportunities to support growth, offering access to high-quality training, career development pathways, and reflective spaces that encourage personal and professional evolution. Whether it’s through accredited courses, leadership mentoring, or creative exploration, we aim to nurture a culture where learning is continuous and development is celebrated.

We’re proud of the environment we’re cultivating at Space2BHeard. If you’re part of a team, a community, or an organisation that’s exploring staff wellbeing, we’d love to connect and share ideas.

🌿 We’re Not Broken — We’ve Just Forgotten 🌿
We often search for a magical cure to fix something in ourselves that isn’t broken.
But healing doesn’t always come in a bottle or a breakthrough.
It comes in the quiet moments — when we turn to music, poetry, art, and nature to soothe ourselves.
It comes in the gentle choices — fresh food, movement, rest — when our bodies ask for care.
✨ Everything we need to feel better is already within us.
✨ Everything we need is freely around us.
We’ve just forgotten that life is meant to be simple.
We overcomplicate it, chasing fixes instead of listening to what’s already speaking softly inside us.
Let’s remember.
Let’s return to what heals us.
Let’s make space to be heard — by ourselves, and by each other.

🍂 A Moment in Pearson Park 🌲
As autumn paints the world in fiery hues of red, orange and gold, we found ourselves drawn to a quiet corner of Pearson Park near our Beverley Road site. There, nestled among the flamboyant trees shedding their leaves in preparation for winter, stood a single evergreen.
Often overlooked, this small tree stood quietly resilient — unchanged, unassuming, and deeply symbolic.
To us, it felt like the inner child within us all. Still green. Still growing. Not needing to change its colours to fit in. Protected by the larger trees around it — like our learned defences — it waits patiently for its moment.
🌬️ Winter is its time to shine.
A season to wrap up warm, care for ourselves, and reflect. Just as the evergreen remains vibrant through the cold, so too can we nurture the parts of ourselves that stay constant, curious, and quietly strong.
Let’s take a moment to notice the evergreens in our lives — and within ourselves.
