Where are you on the burnout curve?

Spotting where you are early can stop the decline and all the associated wellbeing issues mentally and physically.

Happy Easter!

Take time over this long weekend for you.

So that you can rise again, energised and ready for the next challenges.

Sometimes, when you're feeling important,
Sometimes, when your ego's in bloom,
Sometimes, when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room.

Sometimes, when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfilled hole,
Just follow this simple instruction,
and see how it humbles your soul:

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you'll be missed.

You may splash all you please when you enter,
You can stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you'll find in a minute
That it looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example
Is to do just the best that you can;
Be proud of yourself, but remember,
There is no indispensable man or woman

HELP NEEDED PLEASE!!

May we ask for a few minutes of your time to complete this questionnaire for a friends daughter’s dissertation please.

Thank you in advance!

Hi all! I am undertaking my final year BSc Psychology dissertation and am looking into Generational differences in attitudes toward mental health and the contribution of social media exposure. If you are 18 or over, I would be grateful if you could spare 10-15 minutes (at the most) of your time to fill out a survey.

I would really appreciate if you could pass this link on to any family or friends you may have over the age of 40 in order to compare age groups.�

A little bit of empathy goes a long long way...

We can never truly know what it’s like to walk in each other’s shoes, but we can listen and show empathy.

Missing Veteran Cornwall

Samuel is missing and is from the West Cornwall area. Please share and of you know where he is, ask him to reach out.

BEACON UPDATE: FOUND SAFE

Family have been in touch to let us know that Sam, a Navy veteran for whom we recently launched a Beacon Alert, has been located and is safe. Thank you to everyone who shared this alert and helped bring about a positive result.

Can we ask a favour? If you haven't already, could you join the Beacon Alert WhatsApp broadcast? It is by far the most consistent way to make sure you see updates as and when they happen. Thank you: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9xyDhJUM2dwE0aZT3V
