A couple of months ago I decided to sign up to the Wildlife Trusts ' 30 Days Wild Challenge which asks: "This June can you do something wild every day for a month?"  The idea is that many of us are so busy with our every day lives that we often forget to connect with nature. And yet nature is around us all the time, whether we live in the town or the countryside there are trees, birds, wildflowers (sometimes called weeds!), creepy-crawlies and other creatures. It is a well-established fact that being outdoors and close to nature is good for our mental and physical wellbeing. Rather ironic then that on 1 June, Day 1 of the challenge, I found myself indoors looking at fish and other amazing sea creatures! The lumpsuckers at Anglesey Sea Zoo, the lobsters, jelly and star fish, conga eels and sea anenomes had our family party completely hooked on going wild straight at the off! The challenge was well and truly on! I found out about the challenge originally a couple of month...

It's almost two years ago now since Jan Rogers wrote about her experience as a member of the Expert Reference Group reviewing the Mental Health Act (1983) - Code of Practice in England. This weekend I was delighted to discover that Jan had been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2016 (page 78 of the Prime Minister's List)  for her contribution as a member of this Expert Reference Group and to mental health generally.  Nicky Morris, Ponthafren Association Manager, tells us more: Janet Rogers is a volunteer and trustee at Ponthafren Association. Ponthafren provides a unique blend of services to address the mental health needs of its members and the citizens of Montgomeryshire in North Powys.  Within the core funded service, Ponthafren has developed two main centres in Montgomeryshire, at Newtown and Welshpool, with a satellite provision in Llanidloes in the form of a group which meets weekly on a Thursday. The centres provide a drop-in facility that gives ...

This week's guest post is from PC Owen Griffiths of Dyfed Powys Police . I met Owen in May during Mental Health Awareness Week, where he spoke to colleagues and partner organisations about his own experience of mental distress. He kindly agreed to share his story with a wider audience. Over to Owen. Bad things always happened to other people - faces on the news and names in the paper - or so I thought. My life was good and right and nothing was going to change that, of that I was sure. All that changed for me on the 22 May 2004. Let me tell you about it. My name is Owen Griffiths. I am a 43 year old serving Police officer who currently works in the training department for Dyfed Powys Police. On the 22 May 2004 I was involved in an incident whilst on duty - one which I was very lucky to leave with my life intact. I can clearly remember being quite badly injured and standing at the side of the road. I was bruised and bleeding badly and although these injuries hurt me greatly they ...
