Brampton View Care Home supports World Mental Health Day
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Brampton View Care Home in Northampton have been marking World Mental Health Day by taking part in a range of different activities to promote good mental health.
World Mental Health Day took place on Thursday 10 October, the idea behind the day is to encourage people around the word to talk about mental health in general and how we all need to look after our mental health by talking about things and sharing our challenges. The theme this year is ‘It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace’. The World Federation for Mental Health has been working for over 70 years to make sure mental health is treated on a par with physical health. World Mental Health Day is also an opportunity to ask for help if you are struggling.
The staff and residents got into the spirit of the day by taking the time to talk about their feelings and sharing their challenges. The hospitality team provided a selection of homemade smoothies and healthy snacks for the home to promote self-care and the residents made positivity cards to gift to the staff. The cards contained positive quotes and inspirational thoughts and images.
General Manager, Mo Masedi, said: “Our residents have had a great day, it is so important to talk about our feelings and allow ourselves some time for self-care. Our staff were so appreciative of the residents making positivity cards for them, a small reminder that they can keep with them.”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
