Physical activity is a huge stress reliever—and you don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.
A stress journal can help you identify the regular stressors in your life and the way you deal with them. Each time you feel stressed, keep track of it in your journal. As you keep a daily log, you will begin to see patterns and common themes.
Come along and meet the Impact Peers at venues throughout Bedfordshire for one of our two-hour Pop-Ins, and share in a slice of cake or two…
Old friends and new are welcome to join us in a cuppa and a natter! We’re planning on having more cake than you can shake a stick at, with the odd healthy biscuit thrown in for healthy wellbeing measure.
Impact Mental Health Peer Support are delighted to once again be delivering peer designed, empowering mental wellbeing programmes, in the Bedford area.
A special thank you to Rhea and Ellie at The Grove Theatre for their kindness, generosity and support
Welcome to the New Academic Year 2017-18 – The Impact team are thrilled to once again be delivering the fantastic You Programmes and our empowering Pathways to Recovery courses.
One of the most important skills I’ve gained from both programs is that I cannot control my past but I can control my future!
From the age of 13, I was severely anorexic, bulimic and depressed, which madly enough was aspirational for my generation. Having a medically defined label was a status symbol, and I had the status, a pyrrhic victory. Continually shifting between not wanting to live and being on the brink of death, under a crumbling facade of highly successful student and popular teenager with a vigorous social life.
We are excited to be planning a Mental Health Volunteers Information Session (VIS) to be held in August 2017.
