Meet Helen 💛

She’s a qualified Occupational Therapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Helen has worked across a range of statutory and public services, including Forensic services, Re-ablement, and CAMHS, bringing a wealth of experience to the work she does.

When she’s not in sessions, you’ll likely find her diving into an autobiography, listening to some classic ’90s tunes, or playing with her daughters.

So happy for you to meet her!

We’ve been asking a lot from our community lately and with some new faces joining us, it felt like the perfect time for a re-introduction!

Meet Becky 💛

She is a Systemic Family Practitioner with a background in Occupational Therapy.

Becky has worked across a range of statutory and public services, including Crisis Support, Children’s Services, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Her wealth of experience brings a thoughtful, systemic approach to every session.

Outside of work, you’ll often find her walking her dog, practicing yoga, or exploring her creative side.

We’re so glad for you to get to know her!

Say hello to our Bee Merry and Calm Monday series.

Now that December is here, we will be sharing one simple (bee themed) calming tool each week to help you and your child/ren find a little calm in the Christmas countdown.

These tools are also great with supporting you to connect at this busy time.

Our first calming tool is the Bee Hive Hug:
Give yourself a tight hug like you’re a bee cosying up in your hive. Hold for 5 seconds, then release slowly. Notice how your body feels.

Community Shoutout!

Today we wanted to celebrate two incredible organisations who go above and beyond for us here at Bee Well.

We Love Carers An amazing charity supporting unpaid carers across the Dudley Borough. Not only do they provide us with a space to work from, but they’re always there with open ears when we need them. We appreciate you so much!

Crafting For Communities A talented group of crafters who create handmade items to spread joy across the community. Thanks to them, every child who completes My Feelings and Me in a Dudley borough school, receives a special worry worm gift. We are so grateful for your kindness and creativity!

Thank you both for helping us make a difference.

We are being brave, we are being bold, and today, we are telling you how it is.

Our community means everything to us and right now, we need your support.

We are incredibly grateful to have received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for this academic year. However, running a Community Interest Company in today’s climate is tough. We want to stay sustainable so we can continue delivering our award-winning My Feelings and Me programme to as many children as possible.

Here’s how you can help us:
🐝Sign up to Easyfundraising. it’s free for you and supports us with every purchase.
🐝Connect us with a business that may sponsor a programme.
🐝Share any ideas you think could help. We are always open to hearing from you.

Together, we can keep this vital work going. Thank you for standing with us.

After sharing the importance of mental health education last week and Bee Well’s role in it, we’re opening the doors to the behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running.

As much as we both love running our group sessions there’s a lot that goes on to keep Bee Well operational. This includes a lot of learning on the job, as neither of us studied business at any point in our careers.

Some of our unseen tasks include:
🐝Admin set ups that are always on brand to enable us to apply for funding/grants.
🐝Writing detailed school reports demonstrating the impact of My Feelings and Me.
🐝Updating our website to ensure accurate, up-to-date information.
🐝Attending training/networking events/meetings, to get our voices out there and hopefully heard.

Sharing a little round up about the history of Bee Well Together:

1) Our first photo with our matching bee headbands. This was the start of the bee paraphernalia obsession 😁

2) We started this page during the pandemic whilst still working in our NHS camhs roles, to offer advice to support parents during this difficult time.

3) What we discovered quickly was that mental health support needed to be stripped right back as mental health education wasn’t available.

4) My Feelings and Me grew from this. Helen’s daughter even designed the programmes logo.

5) We had a limited company Bee Well Groups
alongside our community interest company
Bee Well Schools that were amalgamated to who we are now, Bee Well Together.

6) We have big plans for our future and one day hope to see that all children will have access to our mental health education programme, My Feelings and Me.

Have you ever questioned why we have physical health education lessons in schools but no dedicated lessons on mental health education?

Educating children about their feelings will enable them to identify and understand what causes them.

In the same way physical health education is taught to keep us physically well, mental health education is needed to provide us with strategies to support us to keep us mentally well. After all, health is health.

If you are in any doubt of why schools need us, here are just a few of our statistics:

• Over 300 children have completed My Feelings and Me across Dudley and South Staffordshire.
• 100% of schools would recommend us.
• 94% of schools have accessed more than one programme.
• 98% children would recommend My Feelings and Me.
• 97% of children reported learning something new about their feelings.

Primary schools in Dudley please email us if you would like to find out more.
