Hampshire: Mind wellbeing partnership

In Hampshire, 50% of people experience psychological, emotional or mental health difficulties that significantly affect their day-to-day functioning. Rates of hospital admissions for self-harm in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are more than 1.5 times the national average.

In response, Andover Mind, Havant and East Hants Mind and Solent Mind are pleased to announce that they have been awarded the contract by Hampshire County Council and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board to provide mental health and wellbeing services across Hampshire. By working in partnership together and with the local GP surgeries, more people will be able to access specialist services, and local wellbeing centres will continue to support their communities.

London: Diversity matters - music for mind and motherhood - Wednesdays 1100-1230hrs

Singing can lift our moods and make us feel better, boost our confidence and reduce stress, give us space to express ourselves, and help us to connect with others and with ourselves.

For this group, we dive into the magic of singing, and how it can create a space for wellbeing, connection and expression, offering an alternative way in to exploring your journey through motherhood. We will learn songs, practice gentle grounding and sound making exercises that encourage noticing and presence, and invite creative play where you can contribute your ideas if you wish. And the best bit: you absolutely do not have to 'be a singer' to enjoy singing and take part!
