Have you seen the new #RethinkDementia campaign launched today. ‘When a friend or relative is diagnosed with dementia, it’s natural not to know what to do. But, helping someone stay connected and socially active can help them stay well for longer.’ nhsinform.scot/campaigns/ret…

During Sport Scotland's Moving for Mental Health month, regular customer Kieran has shared his story and how climbing has helped him. It’s great seeing Kieran in EICA's climbing arena every week!

Active Communities programme at @Ed_Leisure helps 10k people a year get active.
A great asset for the city, helping many people: older, on low incomes, with disabilities, carers, living with dementia, & children who have lived in care.

Are you supporting a relative who needs help to manage a long-term condition, disability, physical or mental health condition or addiction? If the answer is yes – you are a carer.
Head to @VOCALEdinburgh to find out about support available👉 vocal.org.uk/carer-support/

Often we focus on the physical benefits of exercise.
But the emotional benefits can be just as (if not more) powerful.
In this study, women reported the wellbeing benefits of gym-based resistance training to include:
- Social affiliation
- Feelings of “flow”
- Building autonomy
- Personal growth and mastery
- Improved self esteem and confidence
“Greater emphasis of these wellbeing benefits in public health messaging may encourage more women to engage in gym-based resistance training.”
