MHAW ✨ RIGHT TO ROAM It's #MentalHealthAwarenes

MHAW ✨ RIGHT TO ROAM

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek + the theme for this year's campaign is 'nature' 🌿🌊🏞️

Brill. There's a ton of studies about the wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature. But tbh it's somewhat problematic advocating for that when so many people don't have access to green spaces, clean air or clean waters. It's been proven that our environment makes a massive difference to our mental health + even seemingly 'invisible' factors like noise pollution + air quality can have a big impact. So: the right to roam isn't only a freedom of movement thing. It's also about access to nature for all + the impact of that on our bodies, brains + hearts. Learn more + get involved ➡️ righttoroam.org.uk ☀️🌿

There's a ton of #MHAW resources in my highlighted stories including recommendations for orgs providing free, donation-based + affordable therapy. Take care, stay safe, find meaning in the things that matter to you. Also: REST, revolt against capitalism (causes + compounds SO many MH issues) + remember trauma recovery is not always linear, pretty or gentle but it doesn't have to be 💖✌️

Deffo not mad about it.💖

LOVED getting to go back to seeing some clients in-person for the first time in MONTHS yesterday. ✨🙌
Having had my first jab + w a room big enough to sit 2m apart, supporting the clients who need/want to come in-person finally feels like an option again. I'm still doing online sessions too, but wow it felt so nice to have an entire day in a different four walls than home. ☀️💪
Also got to spend an hour in my car listening to @cryptonautpodcast (the most glorious, foul-mouthed, funny spooky company), then as I pulled up at home my neighbour accosted me with a bonus gift of melon bc he had too much. 💖🍉
It was a long but good day + I am grateful for it. Also grateful for: these recent client testimonials. Happy Monday kids 🎊⚡
