Today is World Mental Health Day (Saturday 10 October), an important reminder that looking after our mental health matters every day of the year.

We all experience difficult times, and sometimes having someone to talk to, who will listen without judgement, can make a real difference.

Our Bexley Crisis Café provides a safe, welcoming and supportive space for anyone experiencing emotional distress or struggling with their mental health.

You don't need to face a difficult evening alone. Whether you need someone to listen, some reassurance or simply a place where you feel understood, our team is here to support you.

The Bexley Crisis Café is open every day, including weekends and bank holidays, from 6pm to 10pm.

Find us at:
2a Devonshire Road, Bexleyheath DA6 8DS.

This World Mental Health Day, please help us spread the word. Sharing this post could help someone who needs support know where to turn.

Mindful Mums Bexley this week hosted their second Wellbeing Workshop event for Bexley mums to reflect on how their sleep challenges might be impacting their own wellbeing.

The session, which was co-facilitated by Jacqui Kelly from the Sleep and Wellness Nest. It offered local mums a chance to chat together about the struggles with their baby's sleep. There were also tips for supporting their babies to sleep, while also establishing and managing their own positive sleeping habits during the often-exhausting days and nights of early parenthood.

Supported by members of the wonderful Mindful Mums volunteer team, parents were able to relax and enjoy some refreshments and informal social chats too. In line with the antenatal support groups run by Mindful Mums, it was also lovely to have a pregnant mum-to-be attend the session too; she said it was a great opportunity to starting thinking ahead about her future life as a mum and how to manage the sleep challenges she might face in the future.

Mindful Mums Bexley Project Coordinator Emma Seaton said: "Following feedback from mums, we wanted to bring together our usual Mindful Mums peer-support model with professional understanding of sleep struggles. We also created an opportunity where mums could share their ups and downs with each other, as well as get answers to questions they might have about infant sleep routines and their own sleep habits. Thank you to Jacqui and the volunteer team for supporting this event."

Would you like to sign up for a free online workshop?

We have three new workshops in October - Blips, Slips and Dips; Alcohol Awareness, and See It. Believe It. Become It!

Join from the comfort of your own home, learn at your own pace and connect in a friendly, supportive environment.

Blips, Slips & Dips is a friendly space to explore the ups, downs and unexpected wobbles that life can bring. Together, the group will look at what helps us when things don’t go to plan, celebrate the little wins that remind us we’re doing okay, and discover ways to get ourselves back on track when we’ve had a dip or a slip.

The Alcohol Awareness workshop is for anyone who would like to understand more about alcohol. We will learn about alcohol units, what they are and why they matter. We will go on to learn about how alcohol affects the mind and body and look at practical ways to reduce harm and drink safely, whether it is for yourself or someone you support.

See It. Believe It. Become It is a monthly group where we explore different ways to turn the life you imagine into something you can start creating. Each month, we’ll use visualisation, intentions, affirmations and creative activities to help you discover what you want, believe in what’s possible and take steps towards it. Keep coming back each month to build on your ideas, reflect on your progress and see your vision grow with you.

If you would like to register for any of our activities, simply head over to the Mind in Bexley website, where you will find the Recovery College page and the October to December registration form.

Alternatively, you can call us on 0208 303 8932 and one of our staff members will be able to help.
