The celebrations continued across Potens for World Mental Health Day on Thursday! 🤩

At Chester Road the staff team enjoyed some lunch together in support of workplace mental health. 🍽

Manager Jamie said “We had a great staff lunch, enjoying some fish and chips. 🐟 Were we all caught up with each other and discussed the health and wellbeing newsletter that provided information on accessing help around mental health. 🌟 Our new staff member Glyn enjoyed getting to know his colleagues better and completed his wellness action plan for his new role. 🙌 After our team lunch we spent some time reviewing our psychological safety action plan and staff lunches are one of our actions to continue regularly. Everyone enjoyed the catch-up and looks forward to the next one!” 😁

Bay House celebrated the day by hosting a pyjama day where staff could wear their pyjamas to work. 😊 Both the staff and children had a great day! 👏

At Apple Tree House the staff team received some small care packages for them to enjoy at home and relax by having a pamper and some delicious snacks! 🎁🤩

Over at 185, they had a busy day for World Mental Health Day where staff member Morgan took the lead for the day. 🌟

Morgan said “On World Mental Health Day, we focused on raising the spirits of the staff and the people we support at 185. I organised a range of different games and it got competitive, but we all had a great day. 👏 We played some memory games and I asked all the people we support and staff to sit together and make or decorate one of the sweet treats and spend some time laughing and enjoying each other’s company! 🧡 I handed out some different facts, myths and tips about mental health during this activity which we all enjoyed discussing. Once the decorations were completed, we celebrated with some medals and Haribo! 🍬 Everyone had a great day talking and catching up with each other. For anyone struggling you are not alone please reach out.” 💚

The staff at Achieve With Us enjoyed an evening of meditating with some yoga. 🧘 Manager Louise said, “We all had a great day participating in the yoga and spent the day enjoying some healthy snacks and making some fruit teas to try. 🍓 Our meditation and yoga were such a success we decided we would be doing this again in the future, everyone finished their day feeling super relaxed!” ☺️

At Orme House, the staff and people we support had an afternoon filled with fun and laughter as they hosted a karaoke afternoon! 🎤

Team Leader Marcus said, “Our aim for today was to bring everyone together and that’s exactly what we did. 🤩 The highlight of the day was a great duet of Wonderwall by PK and SW. 🎵 After our fantastic singalong we all enjoyed 2 games of bingo! A great day all around with a big smile on everyone’s faces.” 👏
