“My name is Lydia Hartland-Rowe and this is a very brief check-in on Thursday, 22nd October just to say little bit about the site and what we are bringing onto it today.

We have seen less activity on the site in recent weeks and it fits for us with a general feeling that it’s very hard to know where we are now in relation to the pandemic as it unfolds. We can see something coming, we know that it’s going to have a lot in common with what we lived through in the early months of the year. We fear that it might be worse – we know that we’ve learned some lessons that will help to make some things easier, but it feels that there is much more disparity and uncertainty and a lack of clarity perhaps for many of us there may have been in those early months, however distressing they were. And at the same time we also know that there are people who are managing well, and are feeling that they can think their way through the current situation and support others to do so. We do know that self-care is still incredibly important but we’re also thinking more now within the Together in Mind team about how to promote and encourage and support each other and think about the strength of teams and organisations. But the podcast that we’re adding today is another in the series that we’ve had looking at the importance of mind and body. and another opportunity to take a few moments to think about how to put those two things together for yourself in the interests of staying strong and finding some resilience where you can.”
