‘Moving faces’ octopus creative project

Today we had great fun running sessions for children to help their emotional intelligence.


Using creative discussions, first they created a ‘moving faces’ octopus to identify emotions, what they feel like and what might bring these on.


They then moved on to create their angry/calm octopus; this helps children become more aware of triggers for angry/sad feelings and the strategies they can use to calm down.

Well done to all of those that attended! North Kent Mind are running sessions for children and young people each school holiday for FREE, keep an eye out for our next ones and come along.

Kent Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards

Congratulations to Adam Palmer and Ashley Stone for their double win at the Kent Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards. 

As well as winning fundraisers of the year for Medway, they also picked up the champion award at the end of the show. 

Adam and Ashley have worked tirelessly on their 12 months of fundraising challenge and have raised a hugely impressive amount of £8200.

Taking part in various activities such as a charity football match, sponsored walk, monthly scratchcard and speed quizzes, Ashley was keen to support North Kent Mind as a charity close to his heart after experiencing mental health issues in his own life. Thank you so much to Adam and Ashley for their amazing fundraising efforts, commitment and dedication.
