Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder to everyone to prioritise mental health and ask for help when feeling overwhelmed.

At SIAS, service users can take part in a wide range of trips and activities which are designed to boost mental health by fostering friendship and support, build confidence and inspire a new way of living.

Recently Jon Bell, Recovery Co-Ordinator at SIAS, led a trip for members of the Dayhab programme to see the wonder of the Autumn Equinox sunrise at the ancient burial site of West Kennet Long Barrow, a mystical and inspiring experience.

As well as observing the beauty of the sunrise, the position of the Barrow allows the sun to shine inside at the spring and autumn equinoxes. The beam of light then works its way across the inside of the barrow and splits into various shapes. SIAS group members were able to immerse their faces in it and feel the power and energy.

Another interesting point is the Barrow also changes sound by four octaves from the front to the back.

Jon Bell commented, “We were blessed to have such an amazing morning with no clouds in the sky. Before the sunrise we were able to see the planets Venus and Saturn. Being able to witness these natural wonders as well as enjoying a day out in nature in such beautiful surroundings was a very uplifting experience for us all.”

If addiction is affecting your mental health SIAS can help. For free, confidential support please call us on 0121 301 4141 or visit www.sias-solihull.org.uk
