Wenk vir die week:

Wanneer alles te veel voel, probeer hierdie: staan stil, voel jou voete op die grond, en asem vier tellings in en vier tellings uit.

Klein oomblikke soos hierdie kan help om jou weer te begrond.

10 October | World Mental Health Day We talk about physical health quite openly. We go to the doctor when something doesn’t feel right, we exercise to stay healthy, and we try to eat right. But when it comes to our mental health, many of us still find it difficult to ask for help. World

Saterdag, 10 Oktober, is Wêreld Geestesgesondheidsdag.

Dit is ʼn goeie maand om te reflekteer. Geestesgesondheid is net so belangrik soos fisieke gesondheid.

Kom ons maak dit hierdie naweek ʼn gesprek, nie net ʼn nie.

Dit is Oktober, en wêreldwyd is dit Geestesgesondheidsbewustheidsmaand.

ʼn Goeie geleentheid om vir jouself te vra:
HOE GAAN DIT WERKLIK MET MY
As die antwoord nie so maklik is nie, is dit dalk tyd om te gesels.

🌱 Wat jy in September begin groei het, hoef nie in Oktober te eindig nie.

Die lente herinner ons daaraan dat groei nie oornag gebeur nie. Saadjies word geplant, nuwe lewe begin vorm aanneem en met tyd en aandag kom daar verandering.
Net so is dit met ons geestesgesondheid.
Neem die lesse, insigte en nuwe perspektiewe wat jy in September ontdek het, saam met jou Oktober in. Bou voort op die momentum. Groei verder. Ontwikkel nuwe gewoontes. Gee aandag aan dit wat binne-in jou gebeur.
Want jou geestesgesondheid verdien nie net aandag gedurende ’n spesifieke maand nie — dit verdien aandag, sorg en ruimte deur die hele jaar.
Laat Oktober ’n maand wees waarin jy nie net vorentoe beweeg nie, maar ook doelbewus voortbou op die groei wat reeds begin het. 🌿

During September, we observe World Su***de Prevention Day and focus on an important conversation that is still surrounded by stigma.
Many people experience suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives, but these conversations are often difficult to have.
Understanding the risk factors and warning signs can help us recognise when someone may need support.
