Aspire celebrates Mental Health Awareness Week!
The theme for 2025 was ‘Community’ since being a part of a community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with others and supportive communities around us.
A community is a group of people brought together through something which they share in common such as people in the same geographical area, a support network, or groups formed around shared interests, values, beliefs or cultural identities. Importantly, a community should make you feel good about yourself, feel safe, and feel empathy towards others.
People who are more socially connected to family, friends, or their community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer, with fewer mental health problems than people who are less well connected.
Communities can provide us with a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us purpose.
For this reason, we wanted to celebrate our Aspire community that supports us to protect and nurture good mental health!
Our staff showed support by participating in Wear It Green Day!
Aspire hosted a Wear It Green themed Breakfast Club!
Our breakfast club was an opportunity for our women to celebrate our supportive Aspire community, have a chat and some delicious breakfast!
We had cheesy beans on toast, porridge, cereal, fruit and a cuppa - there was something for everyone to enjoy!
At our Breakfast Club, we shared information about Mental Health Awareness week, the importance of being part of a community and tips to get involved in a community!
The cake was a big hit as well!
Here are some ways to get involved with your community:
