Threshold

BHT MHWS will end on Sept 30th, Threshold drop-in's which are part of this service will end. Our last drop-in's will be held on 9th & 10th Sept. We aren't currently taking new referrals for Threshold Counselling but we will welcome referrals shortly & will post updates here.

HOWEVER, Sarah will be carrying on with the class independently at a new location and a new time slot. We encourage women to go to this class and try it out, it has had very positive feedback and is particularly excellent for those that are new to yoga or anxious about trying it.

Sadly, it was our last Monday drop-in today. Thank you so much to everyone that came and made it such a great supportive group. The last yoga class at Threshold will be held next week on 16th September.

WORKSHOP TODAY CANCELLED: The workshop on mental health in the city which was to be delivered in partnership with @MindBrighton has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. But, our normal Monday wellbeing group will be running. Apologies to anyone this may disappoint.

Happy Pride to all the Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans women that use and work at Threshold. Pride is a celebration but also a time to reflect on all the extra hurdles we have to tackle as LBTQ women. Have a great time this weekend! #Brightonpride

on Monday 12th August someone from @MindBrighton will be coming to run an workshop on 'wellbeing in the city' incorporating the ideas of '5 ways to wellbeing'. This will take place during the usual Monday drop-in hours at our North Street office which is 10:30am - 12:30pm.

This #mentalhealthawarenessweek, the focus is #bodyimage. Chronic pain, depression, stress and trauma can lead us to emotionally disconnect with our physical bodies. Here is some ways that we can reconnect. blogs.psychcentral.com/weigh…

Our relationship with our bodies does not exist in a social vacuum. We, particularly as women, are constantly consuming images of a narrow beauty ideal. Things may be changing, but representation still has a long way to go. glamourmagazine.co.uk/articl…

It is #mentalhealthawarenessweek and the theme is #bodyimage. poor body image can affect anyone, but it is still disproportionately experienced by women. 1 in 10 women said they had self-harmed because of their body image, compared with 1 in 25 men (YouGov, March, 2019).

Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme of this years campaign is 'Body Image'. In Monday's wellbeing group (13th May, 10:30am-12:30pm at North Street) we will be discussing the topic and thinking about how we can have a more positive relationship with our bodies.

We have a new group coming up in partnership with @SeaBirds_Ltd ! An amazing project which aims to use Brighton's best resource to improve women's wellbeing - the sea! Please phone 01273 929471 or email [email protected] to get a place!
