September Spotlight: Building Resilience Together. iSupportedHousing’s Commitment to Mental Health and Community Wellbeing
As the crisp air of September settles in, bringing with it the promise of autumn, iSupportedHousing stands firm in its commitment to fostering mental health awareness and community support. This month, we spotlight two significant events that resonate deeply with our mission: World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th and Macmillan’s Coffee Morning on September 26th.
World Suicide Prevention Day: A Call for Connection
On September 10th, the world observes World Suicide Prevention Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and fostering a global commitment to preventing suicides. In the UK, this day is marked by various activities aimed at educating the public and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health challenges. Initiatives like the Baton of Hope tour, which visits cities including Leeds, symbolise a collective effort to inspire hope and action in suicide prevention .Mental Health UK+2Expert Advice Hub+2MindWell
At iSupportedHousing, we understand that mental health is integral to overall wellbeing. Our supported housing services are designed not only to provide safe accommodation but also to offer personalised support that empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives. We encourage our community to engage in open conversations about mental health, seek support when needed, and extend kindness to those around them.
Macmillan Coffee Morning: Brewing Support for Cancer Care
On September 26th, communities across the UK will come together to host Macmillan’s Coffee Morning, the charity’s biggest fundraising event. This annual gathering invites individuals to host coffee mornings, where donations are made to support Macmillan’s vital services for people affected by cancer.
At iSupportedHousing, we recognise the importance of community in healing and support. While we focus on providing supported housing, we are also committed to participating in and promoting events that contribute to the broader wellbeing of our society. Hosting or attending a Coffee Morning is a meaningful way to contribute to the fight against cancer and to show solidarity with those affected.
