@soditsheffield.bsky.social
Sodit provide peer support, 1-1 counselling, creative & educational groups for Sheffield Women & LGBTQIA+ living with mental illness/distress. You are not alone & we can help.
We didn’t have much luck with the sweetcorn in our community garden due to the weather, however, we did manage to grow a bit of glass corn!! Check out the amazing colours!😍

What a great feeling for your wellbeing to be eating hot buttered popcorn that you grew and nourished from a single seed. 💖💚

Our CEO Steph did a firewalk last night raising money for @leedsmind.bsky.social . Not only does she run Sodit but she also works with other mental health organisations. She’s a real mental health superhero in my eyes!! Check her firewalk - obviously she smashed it - go Steph!!! 🔥 ❤️

Trick or Treat! We’ll have a treat please! On rainy days we stay inside in our nature group & use Nature’s treats for creative projects.

It’s great to still feel the benefits of nature on our mental health & wellbeing whilst inside. And it’s so lovely to see people’s pride in their work. 💚

Last month we headed into our garden with magnifying glasses to observe flowers coming to the end of their lives.
We found a new worlds everywhere we looked!
New shapes, textures &patterns - the art created by nature.
It quietened the chatter in our heads and we got to feel better for a bit. 💚

So - we’ve been quiet in the social media world! Life seems to have been bashing all our team over the head!
But we are back and ready to jump in our DeLorean to share all the awesome stuff we’ve been up to recently.
We hope everybody is as well as can be and enjoying the nicer autumn days. 🍂🍃🪾

We had a stowaway in our Natural
Connections group this week! Poppy the kitten took a ride to group in her mums cat back pack.

How could I say no when I could see the whole groups’ mental health soaring!! So she stayed for the whole session and amazingly we did actually get lots of work done! 🐈💖

Wonderful end to our Wellness Planning course today! We all brought home made food & BBQed in our community garden.
I’m so proud of all the Women who have worked so hard. Bravely sharing trauma & mental health struggles, connecting through lived experience.
What a beautiful end to the course❤️.

A hot one in our community garden yesterday. Made a lovely bouquet of hydrangeas for reception and practised making mini bouquets in spice pots, we’ll be doing these in Tues group.
Purple peppers are finally looking very purple & yummy red toms peek out between the green. Our veg is flourishing.❤️

Lots of work on Wellness Planning today thinking about wellbeing & what we are like on an okay day. Our brains love making us feel as if we are always ill & never have better days, so it’s really helpful to look back & see that it will end & we will feel a bit better.
Early warning signs next week!

Surrounded by wildlife during our Natural Connections session today!
What a lift for our mental health to see all this beautiful life in the garden we created, I think our garden always makes you feel better - even if it’s just for a little while. The healing power of nature. 💚

Phew! Humid one in our garden today but didn’t stop two of our group members painting up our skip found fences. Look how smart the entrance looks now!

Also we had a visit from a Gatekeeper butterfly & a Large Skipper. First time we’ve seen them, so thrilled with all the wildlife we are attracting.💚

Each of these flowers was grown by someone who may have been struggling with the idea of there being a tomorrow, somebody who wanted to stay in bed & hide that day, somebody who had to push harder than ever to get on the tram to get to group.

Nature & connecting really does help mental health 💚

Was taking a picture of a tranquil pigeon blissfully sunbathing. The second I pressed the shutter he turned into fluffed up giving me a right eyeball pigeon! Definitely not blissful!
It did make me & my group laugh & I hope it gives you a smile. I do think it’s so important to find the smiles! 🙂

I’m training in wet Cumbria for my @soditsheffield.bsky.social fund raiser that’s dedication for you 🤣 localgiving.org/fundraising/...

Some astounding work by one of our Sodit group members. Art helps her when she’s battling intrusive thoughts or hypomania, I’m so glad she has found the thing that can occupy her mind and get her safely through to the other side.

This really demonstrates the power of creativity in mental health!

We have reached the point in our community garden where we are able to start filling our group/counselling room with cut flowers.
I love seeing people enjoy the arrangements & feel so proud of all the women who have sown seeds & tended to every plant. Just so much joy & so much more to come! 💖
