Speaker for our meeting 10th September

By

The Public Mental Health Team (which is part of the Manchester Health and Wellbeing Service) works to improve the mental health of Manchester people and prevent mental ill-health. Their main strategy is to equip a wide range of organisations with a greater ability to support the mental health of the people with whom they work. This is done mainly through theirprovision of training, resources, information and collaborative working.

Catherine Parsons, Public Health Project Worker from the Wellbeing Service will be coming along from 6.45 – 7.45pm to give us a one hour session about ‘Mood and Food’ - how what we eat affects our mood + healthy eating. Catherine is willing to come along to present other sessions (below) at other times so if you have a preference do let us know!

These courses are about how to look after your mental health and can cover a range of topics including:

 1.       From distress to de-stress – how stress affects you and how to relax

2.       Improve your mood – understand depression + how to manage low mood

3.       Food + Mood – how what you eat affects your mood + healthy eating (Weds 10th Sept 2014)

4.       Unwind your mind – understand anxiety + how to manage worries

5.       Build yourself up – understand self esteem + how to feel better about yourself

6.       Sleep Well – what is good and bad for sleep + how to improve your sleep

What an inspiring evening!

By
We had our 'Bring and Share' event tonight and as well as eating too much chocolate (again) I've come away feeling really inspired. We talked about all the skills, experience and knowledge that we've gained by either coping with having a mental illness, or though caring for a loved one who has been very ill. You can see all the ideas we jotted down from the discussion - from coming to understand your limitations (and that these can change), to developing patience, coping strategies and learning how to think positively.

Update on closure of MRI inpatient services

By
The NHS North West Board has approved the capital funding for Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust's Inpatient Pathway Redesign (IPR) Project.
