Mental Health Care
All I can offer here is, 'Thank God they do not exist like this anymore.' I began my journey into the realms of mental health nurse training way back in September 1989; after having worked as a care assistant for a year before embarking upon this course, to gain a view of just what looking after vulnerable people was really like. It was to be a career choice for life - or so I imagined for myself. At the time I was living at home with my mum and step-dad.

Dyslexic writing 2:
As a dyslexic, you have an advantage as a writer. Yes, that’s right an advantage. OK, the letters might move around and spelling may be some arcane art that you have a vague grasp of and can never really hope to master, but you also have a visual ability which lets you construct mental images in far greater depth.

why we should embrace our imagination
My national football team has qualified to play in the world cup this year for the first time since 1998, so the whole country enjoyed and celebrated the accomplishment, I was too young to remember the event, but I grew up in a family obsessed with this sport, so I used to hear stories about how we played well and didn’t deserve to be knocked out...etc

Mental Health Needs More Than Just an Awareness Month
Don't get me wrong, having a mental health awareness month is absolutely a step forward in the right direction. In fact, the first step to action is awareness. After all, you can't create an intervention or find a solution to a problem that you don't know about. You don't know what you don't know, am I right?

Dealing With An Angry Person
Everyone is periodically faced with an angry person and can be challenging to deal with. I'd like to share a few ideas on how to react to another's anger, whether it's a spouse, friend, or even a stranger. Some of these will also apply if you are angry yourself, which of course is something to avoid in the first place.

How I survived worthlessness in my life
The feeling of worthlessness always haunted me since my early childhood. I was always a quiet kid considering the fact my father always called me a retarded – Which I never knew why. Being raised in a country that values a child by the grades he scores I was an average student and so no one really cared about me.

How to improve your Mental Health
Mental health isn’t just a person’s condition. It’s a lifestyle. Being physically fit can improve your mood but that alone is not going to help you solve the problems with mental health. Exercise and healthy eating won’t make your mental state improve just because you are physically fit. On the contrary, exercise and healthy eating only improve your mental state because you are becoming physically fit, mentally healthy, healthy and fit.

When life throws a stumbling block .....
Hitting a stumbling block does not mean that you have stunted your growth process, what it means is that you have reached a chapter in your life that requires a lot more work to unlock, it also means that this chapter requires you to focus a little bit more. A stumbling block is similar to a speed hump. How many of you visited Tobago Plantations? while driving you cross about ten to twelve speed humps and it doesn’t matter what entrance you take to get there the humps are inevitable. Do you know why? yes! it might be for residential purposes to minimize speed or even for protection. But we don’t see that these humps give us time to appreciate the beauty within the plantation. they give us time to notice the golf course on both sides, it gives us the time to notice that big beautiful sugar mill on the left, it even gives us the time to notice the Lillies pod in the ponds and probably even notice the caiman sunning under the tree. But, most of all ,whether, we take it as torture or pleasure at the end of that road it leads us to the beauty of the hotel we have been anticipating, the pools we have been dying to float in the breeze that we imagine in our hair, the sun we have been dying to feel and that amazing view of the ocean.

Imagine the following scenario: You are in the situation where you are writing something, and you’ve been struggling for hours trying to find the right words. It’s super painful and frustrating, and no good ideas are coming to your head. But all of a sudden, something hits you. The right words magically seem to just come to you.
