🌿 Mental Health Awareness Week 🌿

This week is a reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, and support those around you. Small steps can make a big difference to our wellbeing.

💚 Tip of the day: Take a walk in nature
Fresh air, movement, and time outdoors can help reduce stress, improve mood, and bring a sense of calm.

Remember — it’s okay to ask for help, take a break, and prioritise your mental health. You matter, and you are never alone.

• Samaritans – Call 116 123 (24/7)
• Mind UK – 0300 123 3393

Thank-you Tegan! ⭐️

The Starfish Academy team had a wonderful surprise from one of our wonderful young people yesterday - Chocolates and flowers! 🤩

The help we provide is because we care so much and genuinely want to help shape the young people of Teesside! We never expect rewards for the work we do to help but, we'll definitely accept the chocolates 😇

(It was either Karinas eyes closed or Colleens for this post🤣)

Thanks to the incredible support of our funders, we’ve been able to keep the Place to Be at Starfish open. Every evening Mon to Fri 5 til 8pm we offer a drop-in service for those in the local community who are struggling with their mental health. We provide a safe space, emotional support and community connection.

Thank you to Catalyst Community Transformation Fund, Banks Grassroots Fund, Stockton on Tees Council, and the Bloom Fund. Your partnership fuels real change every day, and we couldn’t do it without you!
