What a thankful morning I’ve had at Greenbank, training their lovely Wellbeing Ambassadors.
Using resources from Mental Health Foundation, we looked at the mental health spectrum, risk factors and protective factors, and helpful phrases (and unhelpful phrases) to use when supporting someone who is experiencing poor mental health.
Thank you for having me, Greenbank!

Our Wellbeing Ambassadors took part in a training session this morning in the library. We looked at ‘The Five Ways to Wellbeing’ and mental health/the mental health spectrum. Thank you to Tina Powsey from Pace Counselling for delivering today.

This memory from 2016 has reminded me that not everything we want is necessarily best for us.
It’s so difficult to see this when you’re in the middle of a season you feel should be changing. I get it 💯!
If the changes you’re trying to make aren’t going in your favour right now, don’t lose hope. Oprah Winfrey said on her show once, “I pray for closed doors,” and that is knowing emphatically that it’s the wrong road for you right now, so you don’t linger unnecessarily, then you take a step forward.
(Obviously, I didn’t get the writing job 😉)
