📢This ones for my Colleagues📢

Following the success of May's Safeguarding training and requests for another, I am delighted to be organising Safeguarding Children & Adults, Level 2 again for October 2026.

If you work in mental health, as a therapist, facilitator or support this will be hugely beneficial in navigating safeguarding concerns.

Some spaces have already been filled through our network elsewhere, so limited places remain. Pop me a DM if you'd like to book.

🎒 The right supports to connect them to in our local area

Gain confidence, knowledge & skills to support someones (and ourselves!) mental health.

💜Availability💜

If anyone needs a little gentleness, holding, support or just a good rant about how they're feeling in response to how things are pop me a little message.
Due to a change (ironically, because of what's going on) in work schedule tomorrow I have some slots in the morning to mid-afternoon.

In the meantime, take a deep breath, stop doom scrolling the social media news and give your loved ones an extra tight cuddle.
Love always prevails

Absolutely buzzing to offer this again with the wonderful Louise!
If you want to learn more about mental health & how to help someone in distress, we would love to have you.

This training is life saving stuff - a bit like physical first aid we will teach you how to first response, provide care, holding & empathy for someone and get them connected to the correct local support.

💉you can only do what pain allows💉

Turns out this is autoimmune disease month, who knew? RA has absolutely kicked my ass this last 4 weeks which has meant having to bench one of the best forms of self-care I’ve found (running).

Sometimes it’s not the pain, but starting again that feels the hardest; but the greatest gift I’ve learned is that we never truly ‘begin again’ we begin from the last place we left off. We have wisdom, knowledge & experience each time we try again that means we’re always starting further in the journey than the time before.

“The sun will rise & we will try again”

Today I tried again, tentatively, compassionately & while that’s not the biggest ‘try again’ anyone will ever do, I hope you go easy with whatever return you make - tentatively, compassionately 💜

✨New Dates Added✨

Absolutely buzzing to share that we have a second set of Mental Health First Aid training dates due to demand after our March training!

This training is suitable for anyone over the age of 16 residing / working in Northern Ireland.

12 hours CPD, PHA accredited training and certified for 5 years (subject to completion of a refresher session)
