I might sound old, but these days my happy place is definitely in the garden where I forget everything apart from, ‘Will my tomatoes continue to ripen now the weather is pants?’ or ‘why are my strawberries still fruiting in October?’
My recent conversations with care leavers have shed light on the challenges they face in pursuing their interests due to limited access to funding. It’s essential to recognise that hobbies play a crucial role in mental well-being and social connections, especially for individuals without a strong support system. Supporting these young people in exploring their passions is key to providing holistic care. #SupportCareLeavers #MentalHealthMatters
