Discover what support is available online over the Holidays from local organisations

Following on from our round-up of national wellbeing resources, this Spotlight Blog looks at resources available from some of our own Inverclyde community groups and charities – check them out below…

Inverclyde Association for Mental Health (IAMH)

Our very own Inverclyde service, Inverclyde Association for Mental Health (IAMH) have a page of great, easy-to-utilise tips to help improve your daily wellbeing.

Mind Mosaic Counselling and Therapy

Another great, local service, Mind Mosaic have a page of wellbeing videos to help with calming and mindfulness. Why not give the Body Scan Meditation a try? Many people automatically become suspicious or even dismissive when meditation is mentioned, but it is a great practice to include in your daily routine which can help you feel stronger, calmer and more able to cope with daily stress.
