Anxiety can lead to a significant amount of mental wellness issues.
Are you able to Identify the stressors in your life?

Stressors are divided into 6 categories;

- environment factors (our physical spaces)
- everyday factors (daily routine)
- emotional factors (our feelings)
- interpersonal factors ( family and relationships)
- life events (significant events that do not occur often)?

If anxiety remains unchecked, it will build stress and tension, which can severely affect general well-being.

Positive affirmations can help strengthen self-worth by boosting both your positive opinion of yourself and your confidence in your ability to achieve your goals. They can also help counter the feelings of panic, stress, and self-doubt that often accompany anxiety.

In England during the pandemic, concerns about finances worsened the mental health of 52% of BAME people compared to 45% of their White counterparts.

The BAME population were more likely than the white population to need advice about money and benefits (40% vs 24%) and housing (19%vs 10%) to help manage their mental health.

Support the organisation as we advocate for timely support, advice and to address inequalities in housing, employment, finances and other issues have had a greater impact on the mental health of people from different Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority (BAME).

By being proactive when it comes to our health, there are a wide range of associated benefits, including:

🟤 Improved quality of life
🟤 Early diagnosis and treatment
🟤 Reduced symptoms of illness
🟤 Improve and maintain productivity and efficiency
🟤 Regular health screenings can save costs long term
🟤 Better mental health

Covid-19 has shone a light on inequalities and highlighted the urgent need to strengthen action to prevent and manage ill health in ethnic minority communities. A cross-government strategy for reducing health inequalities, and the wider socio-economic and structural inequalities that drive them, should be an urgent priority.

Join us on Saturday 24th April for our Black Mental Wellness Day on
and will all bring us a broad range of information and insight into how the disparities have and can be challenged.

Words have power!

How are you speaking to yourself?

All types of trauma, including racial trauma, can contribute to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition marked by a range of mental and physical effects.

Traumatic experiences activate your body’s fight, flight, or freeze response. It triggers the release of stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline). This release causes a range of physiological changes, including increased heart rate and heightened mental alertness

Racial trauma can affect both your mental and physical health, so it’s important to prioritize things like eating regularly and getting enough rest.

You can be the sunshine to someone’s day!

Your words have power!
Speak positive words to yourself

Physical activity can help lower your overall stress levels and improve your quality of life, both mentally and physically.

Exercising regularly can have a positive effect on your mood by relieving the tension, anxiety, anger, and mild depression that often go hand-in-hand with stress. It can improve the quality of your sleep, which can be negatively impacted by stress, depression, and anxiety.

It can also help boost your confidence levels
