Itโs #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth ๐
There is growing evidence that neurodiverse conditions are accompanied by mental health challenges.
This can be put down to a number of different factors, including differences in how you interact with the world and experience particular situations, which can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Or perhaps negative attitudes and a lack of understanding from others, which can lead to loneliness and feelings of isolation.
Our support services are designed to offer a friendly and warm environment where individuals can relax and be themselves, and Wellbeing activities are embedded to help to reduce anxiety and reduce stress.
This week, the trainees in our Gate service chose to host their own Wellness Day. Theyโve been taking part in their favourite self-care activities such as painting their nails and making chocolate covered strawberries. ๐

Yesterday was a very exciting day at our Sensational Learning Centre as we had a special visit from our Community Police team. They led an insightful presentation focusing on crucial topics like online safety and stranger danger.
The young people were excited to try on the police uniforms, explore inside the police van, and yes, even turning on the sirens! ๐ ๐จ
A huge thank you to our fantastic Community Police team for taking the time to visit us ๐

We are so grateful for the generosity shown by our local bookshop @maddingcrowdbooks. Not only did they welcome Class Pine from our Sensational Learning Centre for #WorldBookDay last month, but they also went above and beyond by donating ยฃ74.35 from a jar of coins they had been collecting for nearly a decade. ๐โจ
In return for their incredible support, Class Pine had the pleasure of visiting the bookshop once again to show their appreciation and present a special thank you certificate.
Thank you, Far From the Madding Crowd, for your support and generosity. ๐
