💬 Support for Men’s Mental Health – You’re Not Alone 💬

At New Seaham Medical Group, we understand that life can be overwhelming at times. Many men struggle in silence with stress, low mood, or personal challenges — often feeling unable to talk about what they’re going through.

That’s why we’d like to share an amazing external support group called The Man Cave.
It’s a private, safe, and non-judgemental online community for men aged 16 and over, offering a space to talk openly about mental health, life struggles, and personal worries.

Whether you’re dealing with:
• Relationship or family breakdowns 💔
• Job stress or unemployment 💼
• Financial worries 💰
• Addiction or mental health struggles 🧩

…you’ll find people who understand, listen, and care.

Talking really can save lives, and this group is helping men who might otherwise feel lost or alone.

👉 Find The Man Cave on Facebook and join the conversation.

Scan the QR code in the image below or search for “The Man Cave – Men’s Mental Health” on Facebook.

You’ll be among friends. 🤝

🌍💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🌍

Coffee Morning - New Seaham Medical Group

What a wonderful morning we had for World Mental Health Day here at New Seaham Medical Group! ☕️💬

Our patients and visitors got creative painting rocks with uplifting words and positive messages, each one made with care and kindness. These beautiful rocks are now displayed outside the surgery for everyone to enjoy and will soon be placed around Seaham and the local area for others to find, take home, or simply read when they need a little lift. 🌈🪨

We hope these messages reach the people who need them most and remind everyone that it’s okay not to be okay, and that help is always there when you need it. 💬❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, shared a cuppa, and took part. We hope today reminded everyone of the importance of talking, sharing, and caring, not just for ourselves, but for those around us too.

Let’s keep the conversation going. 💚

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

Today is a reminder that your mental health matters — every day.

At New Seaham Medical Group, we want all our patients and community members to know that it’s okay to slow down, take a breath, and look after yourself, not just physically, but emotionally too.

You are allowed to…

💙 Feel what you feel
💙 Take up space
💙 Pause and rest
💙 Say no
💙 Make time for what you love
💙 Ask for help
💙 Begin again

It’s perfectly okay not to have all the answers, and to reach out when things feel heavy. Whether it’s speaking with friends, family, or one of our team, please don’t struggle in silence.

If you’re finding things difficult, support is available.

📱 Reach out to local mental health services or helplines such as Mind (0300 123 3393) or Samaritans (116 123)

Remember — taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body.

Let’s look after ourselves and each other 💚
