Every year Movember shines a light on men’s health including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer.

But at its heart, it’s about connection. When men feel able to talk without fear or judgment, lives change.

More than a moustache. Movember isn’t just about growing facial hair. It’s about growing conversations.

Behind every moustache is a message to check in on friends, open up about how we’re really feeling, and make space for men’s mental health. #Movember #MensMentalHealth #CounsellingSupport

Tomorrow is National Cappuccino Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a perfectly foamed cup and a cosy corner, perhaps meet up with an old friend to check in.

Bonfire Night can be exciting, but for many people with autism, ADHD, PTSD, or sensory sensitivities, it can also feel overwhelming.
Whether you’re staying cosy indoors or watching the sky light up, take care of your senses and your space tonight.

Can you find the number 82 in under 10 seconds?
It sounds simple, but when your brain is juggling distractions, it’s not so easy. That's a glimpse into what focus can be like for someone with ADHD. Their minds are constantly filtering noise, thoughts, & details all at once
How fast did you find it?

Nature can be a powerful support for our mental health. You don’t need to plan a big hike, even small moments outside can help. Here are a few easy ideas:

• Notice three things you can see, hear, and feel while outside
• Take a short walk and focus on the rhythm of your steps

• Always saying “I’m fine,” even when they don’t seem it

If you notice these signs, reach out. A gentle “I’ve noticed you’ve been quiet lately. Want to talk?” can open a door.

We don’t have to be experts to show someone we care. Just being there counts.
