It's World Mental Health Day, let’s talk, listen, and support better mental health together.

The theme for 2026 is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change” (World Federation for Mental Health).

Conversations about mental health make a difference. And they matter most when we listen to people’s experiences.

Talking about mental health can feel hard. Many of us worry about saying the wrong thing, and that can stop conversations before they begin. But these conversations matter.

Have a look at the Mental Health Foundation website for free tips on how to talk, and listen, about mental health. www.mentalhealth.org.uk

A Warm Welcome to Eileen Wotherspoon! 💚

We’re delighted to welcome Eileen Wotherspoon to the Craigsfarm team as our new Link Worker!

Eileen is already a familiar face at Craigsfarm. She first began volunteering with us in 2025 and later joined the team as one of our Active Listeners.

Now, Eileen is taking on the role of Link Worker, helping to grow and develop our pioneering Craigsfarm Community Wellbeing & Resilience Programme.

Eileen brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having worked across the social work and carer sector, followed by more recent experience with the Citizens Advice Bureau. She is also a qualified counsellor, bringing valuable knowledge, fresh ideas and new perspectives to the team.

We’re excited to see Eileen bring her experience, ideas and passion to the Link Worker role as we continue to develop our wellbeing services and support our community. 💚

Please join everyone at Craigsfarm in giving Eileen a very warm welcome to her new role!

We’re looking forward to all the amazing things ahead.

It's World Su***de Prevention Day, here's how you can help.

September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day, a chance for organisations and communities around the world to come together to raise awareness and campaign for better su***de prevention.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re supporting Samaritans by sharing this important message:

If you think someone might be suicidal, take action, interrupt their thoughts, and show them you care.

Small interruptions you make and actions you take could help someone who is suicidal. You don’t have to be an expert to save someone’s life.

This year's World Su***de Prevention Day campaign was co-created with people who have experienced suicidal thoughts. They've shared real, practical ways you can help someone you might be worried about. To learn more about how to interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts visit: samaritans.org/WSPD

Let’s prevent su***de today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
