Today is World Mental Health Day! ๐
Our support services are designed to offer a friendly and warm environment where individuals can relax and be themselves, and Wellbeing activities are embedded to help to reduce anxiety and reduce stress.
๐ฅฐ Our Speech & Language Therapist, Kirsten Lamb, has been working with the Gate trainees to create Comfort Keyrings. These keyrings feature uplifting pictures and affirmations, perfect for a quick pick-me-up. The trainees even personalised them with sensory elements like fidget toys.
๐ด We were also delighted to welcome back @thehoofgangexperience and their therapy ponies for the young people and trainees in Gate, Vibe and our Sensational Learning Centre. We all had an amazing time bonding with these gentle creatures!
These activities are just a glimpse of how weโre fostering an environment where mental health and wellbeing are always at the forefront. By creating spaces where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered, we continue to prioritise the wellbeing of everyone we support.

A huge thank you to the incredible team at NatWest for generously volunteering their time with us yesterday! The Gogarburn team braved the typical Scottish weather to help clear the area around our outdoor classroom and car park. They did an amazing job, and weโre so grateful for their support! ๐

In Gate, we`ve made some exciting changes to promote wellbeing, including a brand new quiet space for the trainees to relax and recharge. ๐ฅฐ One trainee even left a lovely message on the whiteboard!
Plus, our creative activity space is already in full swing, with trainees making beautiful coasters which will soon be displayed in the quiet space. We`re thrilled to see everyone contributing to these welcoming environments! ๐

This week, weโre shining the spotlight on Scottish Climate Week! ๐ณ๐
Sustainability is very important to us, and recently our services have been embracing creative ways to reduce waste and repurpose materials.
The talented trainees at Gate have been hard at work building a seat from scrap wood and repurposing an old tyre! Meanwhile, Treehouse has been busy growing vegetables and flowers in their garden, with one of their planters made from an old pair of jeans! ๐๐ธ
