It's World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10th October, which prompted the Help! Team to have a chat about what picks them up if they're feeling a little low.

Mental health is an important part of workplace wellbeing, but knowing how to support someone who may be struggling isn't always easy.
First Aid for Mental Health Training can give employees the knowledge and confidence to recognise when someone may need support, start a conversation, listen without judgement and help them find appropriate sources of help.
It’s not about turning employees into counsellors or asking them to solve someone else's problems.
It’s about knowing how to notice, listen, support and signpost when it's needed.
In our latest blog, we look at the benefits of First Aid for Mental Health Training and how it can form part of a wider positive mental health strategy in the workplace.

This is great news!

Residents, community groups, trustees and partner organisations have joined forces with Darlington Borough Council’s community safety team to install a network of lifesaving cabinets across the town, helping to ensure vital emergency equipment is available to the public 24 hours a day.

Our team have now taken over custodianship of 35 lifesaving cabinets, which have been installed throughout Darlington, including within repurposed former telephone boxes, making them accessible around the clock. The team have facilitated the installation of new cabinets and taken custodianship of existing cabinets across the town, making sure they are in the best condition when needed most.

The cabinets contain defibrillators and bleed kits, providing members of the public with access to essential emergency equipment before professional help arrives.

Councillor Jim Garner, Darlington Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Stronger Communities, said: "These lifesaving cabinets are a fantastic example of communities, organisations and partners working together to improve public safety across Darlington. By increasing public access to defibrillators and bleed kits, we are ensuring that vital equipment is available when every second counts. I would like to thank everyone involved in fundraising, supporting and hosting these important facilities."

We've spoken a lot about recently about the importance of defibrillators in our communities, so we loved reading this article about how people are committed to maintaining their community defibrillators, even in the most remote places! 👏👏

The British Heart Foundation has named two defibrillators in Devon and Cornwall in its top 10 list.
