Mental Health Awareness Week 2016 #MHAW16
Relationships
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week (16-22 May) and this year’s theme is relationships.
Relationships are fundamental to our well-being. The quality of our relationships, how we are socially connecting to our family, friends and community, is instrumental to the quality of our physical and mental health. The more we are connected to others in healthy relationships, the more healthier and happier we are and the less we suffer from mental health issues.
It is through our relationships that we develop and evolve our own sense of self/identity, our belonging in communities and be able to healthily meet our own and other people’s needs of us.
Every day during Mental Health Awareness Week #MHAW16 I will be blogging about different aspect of relationships, including our understanding of the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, understanding our own relationship/ attachment patterns, how to improve and build better relationships, and not to forget ourselves, how we can have a healthier and kinder relationship to our own self.
So keep an eye out for my Mental Health Awareness Week blogs every day this week, to learn more about building better and healthier relationships. http://www.myirakhancounselling.co.uk/blog
