💙👨 Movember: Looking After Your Mental Health Matters 👨💙

This Movember, we're encouraging people to start conversations about men's health, mental wellbeing, and seeking support when it's needed.

Sometimes smoking, va**ng, drug or alcohol use can be linked to stress, anxiety, low mood, loneliness, or life's challenges. Remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength.

💙 Check in with yourself
💙 Check in with a friend
💙 Talk openly about mental health
💙 Ask for support if smoking, va**ng, drugs or alcohol are becoming a concern

We provide free and confidential support across Manchester and Tameside, helping people to make positive changes to their health and wellbeing.

✅ Stop smoking and va**ng support
✅ Drug and alcohol support
✅ One-to-one support
✅ Recovery groups and peer support
✅ Harm reduction advice
✅ Support for families and loved ones
✅ Support for young people and adults
✅ Welcoming, non-judgemental services

📞 Reach out to your local service in Manchester or Tameside to find the support that's right for you.

👨🦰 And on a lighter note, we're excited to see which of our colleagues will be growing a mo this November in support of Movember!

👀 Watch this space... we might even persuade a few of them to share their moustache progress throughout the month. From impressive handlebar attempts to questionable first-week efforts, we're looking forward to seeing the transformations and raising awareness for men's health along the way!

Let's make this Movember about more than moustaches. Let's make it about supporting each other, starting conversations, and reminding people that help is available. 💙

💜 Did You Know? 💜

Did you know that My Recovery Tameside offer support to family members, friends, carers and loved ones affected by someone else's drug or alcohol use?

You do not need to be using drugs or alcohol yourself to access support, and the person you're concerned about does not need to be accessing treatment for you to receive help.

✅ 1-2-1 support tailored to your circumstances
✅ Help understanding drug and alcohol use and its impact
✅ Practical coping strategies and advice
✅ Emotional support in a safe, non-judgemental space
✅ Information about local services and recovery resources

💜 When Drug or Alcohol Use Starts Affecting Your Relationships

"I didn't mean for it to become another argument."

Drug or alcohol use can sometimes affect more than just your own wellbeing. It can impact relationships with partners, children, family members, friends, and the people who care about you most.

You might notice:

💜 More arguments or tension at home
💜 Loved ones worrying about your health and safety
💜 Feeling disconnected from family and friends
💜 Trust becoming harder to rebuild
💜 Missing important moments or commitments
💜 Financial pressures creating additional stress

If drug or alcohol use is causing worry, difficult conversations, or strain on your relationships, you're not alone. Many people experience this, and support is available.

💬 The first step doesn't have to be a big one. It can simply be a conversation.

Whether you're looking for harm reduction advice, support to cut down, help to stop, or information for someone you care about, My Recovery Tameside is here to listen without judgement and support you at your own pace.

✅ Free and confidential support
✅ Harm reduction advice and resources
✅ One-to-one support tailored to your needs
✅ Support for family members and carers
✅ Help to achieve your recovery goals

❤️ Looking after your relationships can start with looking after yourself.

Celebrating 5 Years of Greater Manchester FDAC!

Yesterday, colleagues from CGL Manchester and My Recovery Tameside were proud to attend the Greater Manchester FDAC 5-Year Celebration.

Over the last five years, the Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) has made a real difference to families across Greater Manchester, providing compassionate, specialist support to help parents address challenges around substance use and create positive outcomes for themselves and their children.

We are incredibly proud to work alongside such a fantastic initiative. Many of the people we support on their recovery journeys have benefited from the tailored support and collaborative approach that FDAC offers, helping families stay together, build resilience, and move towards brighter futures.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the success of Greater Manchester FDAC over the past five years. Here's to continuing this important work and supporting even more families in the years ahead. 💜

💜 Great to see our colleagues from CGL Smoking Service Tameside in Hyde last week promoting the campaign! 🚭

The team were out at Thornley House, chatting with local people about the benefits of stopping smoking, sharing advice and information, and offering free carbon monoxide (CO) readings.

It was fantastic to see so many people stopping by to learn more about the support available and take positive steps towards improving their health and wellbeing. Every conversation can be the start of a healthier future. 💪

If you're thinking about quitting smoking, cutting down, or simply want to find out more about the support available, it's never too late to take that first step.

💬 If you currently access services with My Recovery Tameside and would like to know more about reducing or quitting smoking, speak to your Recovery Worker. They can help connect you with specialist support from the CGL Smoking Service Tameside team.

Together, we can support you on your journey towards better health and wellbeing. 💜🧡
