Darker evenings and gloomy weather can leave you feeling a bit down in the dumps, especially when you’re already worrying about someone you love.

Sometimes, a cuppa and a friendly chat with people who understand can make a difference. A chance to talk things through, or simply sit and listen. No pressure.

Our next face-to-face meeting is on Tuesday 10 November at 7pm Portsmouth Carers Centre.

We know heading out on a dark evening can take a little extra effort, but you’ll find a warm welcome waiting. We’d love to see you.

Behind the concerns about ketamine in Portsmouth are people and families facing its effects every day.

Our Chair of Trustees, Pat Darvill, shares her reflections after a recent Combating Drugs Partnership meeting - from a mother’s moving story (www.h23foundation.org) to the work underway to improve treatment and support.

An honest account of the challenges, and the support giving people hope.

The blog mentions Stacey Dooley’s documentary, Down the K Hole, on BBC iPlayer, which you may find informative if you’d like to understand more about the impact of ketamine addiction.

Having a difficult day? Start small.

• Get comfortable and have something to drink.
• Take a break from one thing that can wait.
• Step outside for a change of scene. 🍂
• Choose something easy to eat.
• Ask someone you trust for a chat or some company.
• Decide what needs doing today. Let the rest wait.

Choose whatever feels manageable. You don’t have to turn the whole day around. What would make the next hour a little easier?

Support can mean talking through a boundary, sharing an everyday worry or working out one manageable next step.

Rebound brings practical help and emotional support together.

We share this from time to time because people tell us they find comfort in its words, whatever their beliefs.

A good day doesn’t mean you care any less.

When someone asks how you are, do you tell them about the person you care for?

This World Mental Health Day, the theme is 'Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.'

At Rebound, we know the value of talking with people who’ve been there. Your experiences deserve to be heard, too.

Take a quiet moment today to ask yourself: how am I feeling?

You don’t have to share your answer. Simply noticing how you’re feeling is worth taking time for.

Detachment doesn’t mean you stop caring. 💙

It means learning to step back from the chaos, without taking responsibility for someone else’s addiction.

But what does detachment actually mean?
Who is it for? Why might it help? Where do you start?

We’ve put together a helpful resource to explain it all.
