Today we mark Mental Health Awareness Week, which takes place this week until 19 May 2024.
Created by the Mental Health Foundation, the theme for this year is “Movement: moving for our mental health”.
It’s all about encouraging everyone to incorporate movement into their daily routine. This could include going for a walk, doing some exercise, or even dancing around the living room.
Movement is one of the most important things that can boost mental health. It can increase energy levels, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost self-esteem.
At Clarion, we also have a number of wellbeing services that are designed to protect and support your wellbeing.
Wellbeing webinars
If you would like to find out more about our wellbeing services, join one of our three webinars during Mental Health Awareness Week:

Me in Mind
Me in Mind is our wellbeing programme, offering help, guidance, and free access to the Togetherall online community.
The community offers support with common wellbeing issues, such as low mood and stress. It's completely anonymous and available 24 hours a day.
Lend an Ear
If you’re feeling lonely, socially isolated, or missing the joy of regular conversation, you could benefit from our free Lend an Ear service.
It's quick and simple to join, and we'll match you with a friendly, fully trained volunteer for a regular phone or video chat.
Our Lend an Ear service is available to all Clarion residents.
