Understanding Anxiety

As part of North Kent Mind’s programme of events for World Mental Health Day, we are offering a 90-minute workshop on Zoom to help those who are dealing with issues related to anxiety. The sessions are educational and will offer participants a chance to discuss what Anxiety is and ways we can begin to manage it.

There are two timeslots available:

11am – 12.30 pm

2pm – 3.30pm

To apply for a space, please follow this link: https://northkentmind.co.uk/world-mental-health-day/#form

Please note: Spaces are limited, so we will be offering this service on a first-come first-serve basis.

You may be aware that the NHS has launched its ‘Test and Trace’ app on Thursday 24 September.

As part of its introduction, venues such as pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, leisure centres, gyms, theatres, cinemas, local councils, places of worship and more will, by law, have to display an NHS Test and trace QR code poster from Thursday (24 September).

The app is available for smartphones only – not tablets, smartwatches or other devices.

To get started, go to Android’s Google Play or Apple’s App Store and search for “NHS Covid-19“.

The handsets must have Android 6.0 (released in 2015) or iOS 13.5 (released in May 2020) and Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. That excludes the iPhone 6 and older versions of Apple’s handsets.

Ecology Island is a nature-based intervention, which takes place weekly across 8 sessions in a woodland area of Central Park, Dartford. The participants take part in a range of nature-based activities which allow them to learn new skills in a supported environment, outdoors in nature. Examples include bushcraft, campfire cooking, scrub clearance, wildlife ID, litter picking, bird and bat box building, wildflower planting and more.
