*** 2024 GRANT FUNDING NOW OPEN *** Cornwall Women's Fund is now accepting applications for our 2024 grant funding! We aim to support community projects in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly supporting women’s mental health. For this round of funding projects with a focus on perinatal mental health will be given preferential consideration. In 2021, a team from Oxford University undertook in-depth research into the needs of women and girls across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. They considered existing research where it was available and interviewed charity and community leaders, and women from across the county to get a true picture of what really mattered to them and which areas it was difficult to find funding for. (Read the report here: https://bit.ly/3QLpgdv) One of the 4 key areas in their report “Understanding what matters to women and girls in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly” was women and girls mental health, identifying a particular lack of support for those accessing perinatal mental health services. Our Members have voted the area of Women and Girls Mental Health for our 2024 grant funding and we are now accepting applications. Grants range from £500 to a maximum of £1,000 Our grants are administered by Cornwall Community Foundation and you can find more information and details of how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/gY3Ryzy

CLEAR Conversations, First Edition.. We are so excited to be selling CLEAR Conversations, developed by Sarah Perry. This book captures a series of conversations with creative psychotherapists and person-centred counsellors who work with children and young people through our charity. The charity focuses on supporting children and young people who have experienced abuse and trauma, often within the family. CLEAR's outcomes are impressive and have been published in peer review journals. In this book, the therapists explain how they work and how this makes a difference for children and young people. This is a practical book rather than a technical or academic book. It aims to be accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about therapy and how to best support someone who is considering therapy. It is written for parents, carers and professionals who work with children and young people. The voices of therapists are central so anyone considering a career in therapy would find it a good place to find out what this sort of work entails. It describes therapy in the 'real world' of high demand and limited resources and the impact this has on practice. As the CEO of CLEAR, Carolyn Webster, simply states "Our work is not often seen. The conversations in this book between our highly skilled and dedicated team provide a window into work that makes a difference for many children across Cornwall." By far the majority of therapists are women and their achievements are often unrecognised despite the commitment they make to this type of demanding work." This book currently can only be purchased from ourselves at £22. To order, please email rachel.jones@clearsupport.net The official launch of this book will be taking place October 2023, please get in touch if you would like to hear more about the launch. #booklaunch #therapy #children #youngpeople #trauma #abuseawareness #learning

Every day of November, Physiotherapy and Nursing staff and students from University College Birmingham (myself included) will be challenged to complete 5K a day in whatever sport they choose (running, walking, swimming etc.) to raise money for Mind UK in an attempt to raise awareness for men’s mental health. Men’s mental health is still very stigmatized and is a prevalent concern in healthcare. Studies have shown that 2/5 men admit to regularly feeling low, and the number of men who have experienced a suicidal thought when feeling low has doubled since 2009 (2019). Even more worryingly male students make up to 69% of university suicides, which is often associated with lower rates of help seeking (2020). If you are able to donate, please follow the Just giving link below: https://lnkd.in/eBjHGREz If you are suffering with your mental health please don't struggle on your own, seek help by use the following links bellow: https://lnkd.in/eaU-vi2H https://lnkd.in/eTVw8z-f https://lnkd.in/eGw9PCTH

Mental Health, we do need to talk about it. We need to protect and maintain our own mental health and we need to be aware of signs of struggle in those around us and know what to do if we're worried about someone. Latest NHS data published in November shows the number of children with a probable mental health condition has steadily risen from: 1 in 9 children in 2017 to 1 in 7 in 2020 and its now, in Nov 23, 1 in 5 children That's a HUGE increase. It equates to 6 children in every classroom. When I was out in the community a couple of weeks ago I encountered the stark reality. In Bedford, a 20 year old bartender told me how she had lost 3 friends to suicide. A CEO in MK had lost 5 people to suicide. A mother told me in her daughters year at secondary school, 3 children were lost to suicide. This crisis cannot be ignored. These are just a handful of heartbreaking stories. Suicide is one of the most preventable causes of death, and we cannot afford to lose our children, our neighbours, our community. Most of CHUMS services are early intervention, specifically geared towards supporting children and young people with their mental health. Our recreational therapeutic service helps 7-11 year old children to understand their emotions and provides them with new tools to cope better. Our programmes are designed to support children in a way that is fun and engaging through activities they are passionate about (i.e., music & multi-sports) with a sound psychological approach around Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles. A donation of £2,750 could fund a 6 week programme for up to 8 children. That's just £343.75 per child. Can your company help change a child's outlook and future? Contact me if you'd like to discuss sponsoring a programme, a corporate partnership, or supporting CHUMS Charity in any way. We urgently need your help to keep our services running. Please help save our future. The children of Bedfordshire's future. Our community's future. #corporatepartnership #csr #mentalhealthmatters

For the past 30 years, I've worked with youth and their families in both physical and behavioral health care services. Next Step provides a much needed service for teens and young adults with serious illnesses. There are very few support networks for youth who are experiencing a chronic, lifelong debilitating illnesses as they transition into adulthood. When you grapple with the fact that approximately 500,000 chronically ill youth in this country turn the age of 18 every year, the need for Next Step becomes clear. Click here to donate: https://lnkd.in/e8DJHAFr All young people need a place where they can relate, discuss, and experience the challenges of growth and development. Some of the needs that seriously ill young people face are the same as other youth groups but there are unique and very specific concerns experienced by this group as determined by their diagnosis. The Next Step experience helps youth cope with the challenges of living with a serious illness, connect with peers who understand their struggles, and pursue their academic, career, and personal goals. The need to provide this type of support cannot be stated enough. There is probably no other youth agency doing what Next Step does. The Next Step community empowers, encourages, and pushes their participants to be their best. It is also a community that allows them to be vulnerable, angry, and emboldened in the face of their diagnosis. At Next Step, youth living with serious illness have a community that supports them during their worst moments as well as when they are at their best where they can smile and feel normal. Next Step is unique and is an out of the box solution. By donating to Next Step, you are not only supporting our current youth, but your support is also an investment in the future generations that face unprecedented health and social barriers. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of many young people who deserve a chance to thrive. Happy holidays and thank you. Warm Regards, Judith Palmer Castor Board Member, Next Step #IBelieveInMe #Nonprofit

📢 'Seven Strategies Philanthropists Can Use to Help Tackle America’s Mental Health Crisis' ➡ "The United States is facing a mental health emergency, and our systems of care are straining under its weight." ➡ "Many donors we speak with are eager to get involved—yet they often don’t know where to start or feel that their resources can’t make a significant difference. The silver lining? There are many opportunities for philanthropists to contribute" 'Make no mistake: the crisis is serious.' ➡ "Almost one-quarter of adults in the United States—a total of 58 million people—experienced mental illness in 2021, and less than half received any treatment" ➡ "Few families remain untouched by this epidemic, while communities of color and individuals in low-income, rural, and LGBTQ+ communities who are contending with mental illness face particular challenges, especially in accessing care." ➡ "The size of the need, combined with the gaps in America’s mental health care system—which include a shortage of mental health professionals, difficulties in accessing treatment (particularly for historically marginalized populations), and a disconnect between the mental health care system and other social systems" ➡ "Despite interest among donors, relatively few philanthropic dollars, to date, have been invested in mental health." ➡ "The largest gifts have gone to major institutions such as universities and large hospital systems" 📢 Here are seven strategies for philanthropists to support mental health care: 1. Expand and retain a clinical and non-clinical workforce 2. Build the crisis-response infrastructure 3. Improve proven treatment and diagnostic methods, including through neurological research 4. Increase the awareness of and cultural change around mental health, including 5. Destigmatizing mental illness 6. Improve mental health via the K-12 school system 7. Expand access to culturally competent treatment 👩💻 To read the full research piece and article visit: https://lnkd.in/eTEj4ksA [Bridgespan Group] 👩💻 For more funding and fundraising routes: https://lnkd.in/ebBThf_7 [The Global Fund] https://justfund.us/ [JustfundUS] #philanthropy #funding #grantmaking #equitablefuture #ai #stem #technologytransformation #strategies #fundraising #mentalhealth

Talk2mebro is a social enterprise tackling suicidality and mental health by getting men to feel comfortable talking about what they are going through mentally and emotionally. I spent some time with leaders Fred Purcell and Brad Romaniszyn, and volunteer Leon, yesterday, understanding their business and impact models and I was blown away. Every Friday they have dozens of men of all ages and stages turn up at 6am to do breath work, an ice bath and a check in. They’re forming connections, identifying and talking about emotions, and they’re bringing down rates of suicide and domestic violence - which they pointed out to me are different expressions of the same problem. “Domestic violence is violence turned outwards; suicide is agression turned inwards.” They also now offer the same program for women - and these are and always will be absolutely free. They run other programs on a fee-for-service basis, have a gala dinner fundraiser once a year, and top it up with grants, donations and sponsorship but demand is outstripping resources. From four mates in Wollongong in 2018, there are now 40 facilitators in Wollongong and Newcastle and the demand to spread is enormous. They’re measuring their outcomes and the quantitative and qualitative results are truly impressive. If you know someone who could benefit from an early morning breath work, ice bath and check in with a group centred on mateship, let them know about the community programs: https://lnkd.in/g2VfYfWP If you know of funding opportunities to help Talk2mebro to grow, please get in touch with them and check out their main website: https://lnkd.in/gGCrDzYw #socialenterprise #mentalhealth
