This week our guest post is by Mary Williams  the Development Manager at Mid Powys Mind. Mid Powys Mind is very excited to have trained in THRIVE , which is a non-medical course looking at recovery not just from mental health problems, but from any difficult period in life. It was developed by Marion Aslan of Elemental Wellbeing. THRIVE stands for Time, Healing, Resilience, Interdependence, Vivacity and Emancipation.  The course uses a huge range of tools from various sources (person centred planning, counselling, psychology etc) to help people move forward, recover and thrive again.  The course also doubles up as a staff training tool, to enable staff to use THRIVE principles and tools within their work. THRIVE covers Time Safe ways to take a balanced look at our lives so far, the important factors that can affect us over time including turning points, telling your story, timelines and tools to help people move forward. Healing Ways in which people survive and heal fro...

More and more people are taking up running as a way not only of improving physical fitness but also enhancing mental well being. As Spring is finally on the way it seemed like the perfect time to find out more about some keen runners we know through our local mental health charities plus some equally enthusiastic PAVO colleagues.  I asked them to tell us about their running experiences, their local groups, and if they had any good tips for newbie runners. Helen Worthington, (centre front in photo right) works in our Finance Department, and runs regularly with Tanat Trotters  in North Powys. She says: "running gives me ‘ME’ time. What could be better than running outside in the fresh air in our lovely countryside? It really motivates me to do other things."  Top tip for newbies:  Little and often - try running between weekly class runs. Claire Sterry, County Development Officer in our Llandrindod Wells office , says:  "I've recently started in the walk-...

This week's guest post is from Jeremy Richards who works as the Pathways Co-ordinator at CAMAD -  Community Action Machynlleth & District  - in North West Powys. His role is to create a safe environment and facilitate and enable people to speak freely about their issues if they wish.  Now that CAMAD’s Pathways Project has reached its 6 month mark of Big Lottery funding it seems a good time to write. To be fair it is longer than that we’ve been going as we had Awards for All funding to pilot the project from November 2014. It started off as a Thursday afternoon service, but now it’s Monday afternoons too, and on Tuesday afternoons we have Art Sessions with a wellbeing slant. It’s much more enjoyable, much less heavy than I anticipated. Although people are free to share their hardships, and do, more often than not we talk a lot of amiable nonsense. Perhaps it’s very obvious but it seems to me that once the elephant in the room has been uncovered (depression, anxiety) ...

Last Thursday I attended an event in Llandrindod Wells where representatives from the Third Sector discussed the future planning of services and activities as part of Powys teaching Health Board’s three year Integrated Medium Term Plan . This plan will be used as the basis for future commissioning of the Third Sector by PtHB. The meeting was attended by several mental health charities, including Brecon & District Mind , Mid Powys Mind, Ponthafren Association and Hafal. Carl Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations Carl Cooper, Chief Executive Officer at Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations , introduced the day, explaining that the Third Sector is a significant partner in the process working with people in communities and organisations to help the health board plan and deliver “better health and care services” in Powys. Carl said that “we are here today to be part of the process to shape and influence and be involved in the planning an...
