Wellbeing

Keeping well

Mental wellbeing means feeling good about yourself and the world around you. The NHS recommends five steps to help you stay well.

  1. Connect and develop relationships with people around you. Build strong social connections to help you feel happier, more secure and give you a sense of purpose.
  2. Be active – find an activity you enjoy and make it part of your life.
  3. Keep learning and gain new skills.
  4. Give to others – whether with a small gesture such as a smile or kind word or by volunteering.
  5. Be mindful – be more aware of the present moment, thoughts and feelings.

Feeling the winter blues?

Members of the Slough Coproduction network recognise from our own lived experiences that winter can be a difficult time for people. We have created a resource which provides details about organisations and places to visit offering  help, advice or someone to talk to.
