Tiny Happy People – The BBC’s Tiny Happy People can help you develop your child’s language and communication skills, so they get the best start in life. We’ll show you why and how you can bond with your child, before they’re born and throughout their early lives – it’s never too early to start.

Dad Matters - We aim to help dads have successful relationships with their families, and to support dads with anxiety, stress and mental health issues. We hope to get dads engaged with services that have traditionally been targeted at mums, and to train & support volunteer dads to work with us.

The Association for Infant Mental Health - Getting to Know Your Baby Resources - Getting to Know Your Baby videos have been designed to help parents, caregivers, and health professionals to know how to support the development of a baby’s emotional wellbeing.

ICON- The idea for the ICON programme and the different interventions within it was conceived by Dr Suzanne Smith PhD following a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Travel Fellowship to USA and Canada in 2016 which included the study of effective interventions and research into the prevention of Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). Research suggests that some lose control when a baby’s crying becomes too much. Some go on to shake a baby with devastating consequences. Suzanne found that the most effective evidence-based programmes studied provide a simple message that supports parents/caregivers to cope with infant crying. Apart from preventing AHT, most people who have ever cared for a baby appreciate some advice about how to comfort a crying baby and how to cope when it goes on for a long time.

Towards Tomorrow Together - Towards Tomorrow Together provide support, information and resources to people affected by baby loss – at any time, for any reason. We walk with you as you take steps Towards Tomorrow, joining you at the time of your loss, as you grieve and during any future pregnancies.

Sands - We work to support anyone affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. We also carry out vital work to improve maternity safety through targeted research, campaigning for change, working with government and reducing inequalities in healthcare to save babies' lives.

In addition to actively participating in a treatment plan, some self-care and coping strategies can be helpful for people with personality disorders:

  • Learn about the condition. Knowledge and understanding can help empower and motivate.
  • Get active. Physical activity and exercise can help manage many symptoms, such as depression, stress and anxiety.
  • Avoid drugs and alcohol. Alcohol and illegal drugs can worsen symptoms or interact with medications.
  • Get routine medical care. Don’t neglect checkups or regular care from one's family doctor.
  • Join a support group of others with personality disorders.
  • Write in a journal to express one's emotions.
  • Try relaxation and stress management techniques such as yoga and meditation.
  • Stay connected with family and friends; avoid becoming isolated.

Using Artificial Intelligence to monitor wellbeing: BRAVE AI - BRAVE AI is being used across four Primary Care Networks in Somerset. Using clever computer algorithms, it gives each patient registered at the practice a score for how complex their health needs are and uses this to highlight those who may be at risk of their wellbeing declining to the point of needing to go to hospital. This helps health professionals identify people at risk who may otherwise go under the radar, such as patients with borderline results or who rarely contact their GP.

BRAVE AI – Digital Marketplace – Brave AI is a Population Health Management (PHM) platform. Brave uses Machine Learning to integrate and rapidly analyse routinely-collected health and social care data to empower patients and clinical teams to create the most appropriate plan of action for delivery of proactive anticipatory care.

Bridgwater COPD Project – Respiratory disease is a major cause of ill-health and death in Somerset, and there are more cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Bridgwater than many other areas of England and the county. Through this community engagement project we want to improve diagnosis, care, and support for people in Bridgwater who have COPD.

November 2nd 2023 - Living well with COPD (Bridgwater focus group) – We are working with Evolving Communities CIC, independently on behalf of NHS Somerset, to help Bridgwater residents who have COPD to live healthy and full lives. We are connecting with local people who have COPD, as well as their families, friends and carers, to understand what support is needed to help those with COPD to get information, access health and care services, and take action to live well.

We are looking for people with COPD who live in Bridgwater to join our focus group discussion. £25 vouchers will be provided to those who are invited to attend, and if you volunteer to become a Community Connector or to feature as a case study, you will be entered into a prize draw and could win a £100 supermarket voucher.

If you are interested in joining the discussion group, please send your name and contact details to Wendy Coward, Project Coordinator, by email: wendy.coward@healthwatchsomerset.co.uk or text 07884 370503.

Core20PLUS5 – Core20PLUS5 is a national NHS England approach to inform action to reduce healthcare inequalities at both national and system level. The approach defines a target population – the ‘Core20PLUS’ – and identifies ‘5’ focus clinical areas requiring accelerated improvement.

Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!

In this episode, Mindfulness and Resilience, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Andrew Tresidder are joined by Dr. Inmaculada Adarves-Yorno from the University of Exeter to discuss what mindfulness and resilience are and how they are connected, how we can build resilience to a high level and learn to embrace challenges and how Inma’s experiences working in the Kenyan prison system have informed her approach.

Dr. Inmaculada Adarves-Yorno Profile – Dr. Inmaculada Adarves-Yorno (PhD, MA, MSc, BA) is a world-leading social scientist in social identity research. Her work using the social identity approach has challenged and expanded the fields of creativity and mindfulness, and research on both areas has been published in 4 and 3 journals. She led systemic change in the Kenyan Prison Services (4* impact case study) using research on social identity and mindfulness. She developed innovative and unique leadership development tools and processes which are embedded in her teaching and impact work. She developed as well as accredited leadership programmes. She engages with practitioners offering them a new way of looking at themselves and opening their eyes to new ways of leading. For the last 5 years, she has investigated what factors predict resilience and two key factors are related to mindfulness and social identity.

Inma’s Teams Work in Kenya – In April 2015, a psychologist from the University of Exeter Business School (Inma) planted the seed of Mindfulness by training the Director of Rehabilitation (Mary) and 5 prison governors (Patrick, Olivia, Aggrey, Bison and another Patrick). A few months later she went to Kenya and did some more training within 4 institutions. She was then supported by a small team in Exeter (Emma, Michelle, Leonie and Jayne among others), a team in the African Prisons Project (Matteo and Hamisi among others) and the Kenya Prisons Service (those initially trained and others who joined).

Inner Rehabilitation - The Inner Rehabilitation Programme is an exciting project done in partnership between African Prisons Project, an organisation which develops leaders and makes prisons places of positive transformation, and the University of Exeter. We have the luxury of working with a great, committed team in the Kenyan Prison Services who help us make this project a success and continue to support its growth.

ExeTalks – Leading Change - To learn more about the research underneath Inma’s work, watch the Leading Change talk on YouTube

BBC Documentary – Is it possible to lose your freedom but remain free? - Apparently, yes. Dozens of prisoners in Kenya are now convinced they are freer than many of us walking free. Their secret is a practice known as mindfulness which psychologists say leads to profound levels of freedom and improves wellness for those who master it. The BBC's Sylvia Chebet brings us the powerful tales of the now "free" prisoners.

Health and Self Care - Thoughts and comments from a number of experienced medical and other professionals. It covers health as a concept, hardware body and software being, doctors as patients, self-care and physical health, aspects of psychological health and relationships, including the Drama Triangle, the Inner Smile exercise, Medical Mindfulness, and Compassion in Healthcare. There are some short sections on retuning our software being, top tips for doctors at work, and as patients, and an Emotional Health Strategy.

Hardware Body, Software Being paper - Modern medicine focuses on the hardware systems of the physical body (the hardware body) and has not accepted the concept of 'software being'. However, making this shift enables a larger view of health, illness and pathology, enabling additional approaches to help patients get better.

Orange Button - Suicide can affect anybody and there isn’t a community in Somerset where people haven’t been touched by suicide. Whether a hospital staff member or an owner of a local shop, we can all make a difference in reaching out and offering support to those in need. We know that if someone is having suicidal thoughts, receiving support from someone else can make a big difference. Only a minority of people, who died by suicide, are known to mental health services. We need to raise awareness within our community and spread the message that talking to someone in distress won’t make the situation worse.

Glorious Opportunity – My name is Dr Jennifer Bute. I used to be a GP but I retired early with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Since then it has become my passion to try and help people understand about it, because I do believe it is a great opportunity, a God-given unexpected gift in order to understand this hurt section of society. This website contains different resources that I hope you will find useful. I have made a number of videos, and enjoy speaking at conferences, and at meetings for doctors, carers or relatives

Dementia from the Inside - Jennifer Bute was a highly qualified senior doctor in a large clinical practice, whose patients included those with dementia. Then she began to notice symptoms in herself. She was finally given a diagnosis of Young Onset Dementia in 2009.

After resigning as a GP, she resolved to explore what could be done to slow the progress of dementia. The aim of this practical book is to help people who are living with dementia and to give hope to those who are with them on the dementia journey.

Jennifer believes that her dementia is an opportunity as well as a challenge. Her important insights are that the person inside remains and can be reached, even when masked by the condition, and that spirituality rises as cognition becomes limited.

Diet and Mental Health - There is research to suggest that what we eat may affect not just our physical health, but also our mental health and wellbeing. Eating well (i.e. a well-balanced diet rich in vegetables and nutrients) may be associated with feelings of wellbeing. One 2014 study found high levels of wellbeing were reported by individuals who ate more fruit and vegetables...

Mind – Food and Mood - Knowing what foods we should and shouldn’t be eating can be really confusing, especially when it feels like the advice changes regularly. However, evidence suggests that as well as affecting our physical health, what we eat may also affect the way we feel.

Kitty Macfarlane - Kitty Macfarlane is a songwriter and guitarist from Somerset, whose music is rich with visual imagery and written with an eco-eye. From the starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels to the lowly eel's epic transatlantic migration, and the small part we ourselves play in a much bigger picture, her songs are bound by the underlying theme of mankind's relationship with the wild.

The Surprising Psychological Benefits of Music - Listening to music can be entertaining, and some research suggests that it might even make you healthier. Music can be a source of pleasure and contentment, but there are many other psychological benefits as well. Music can relax the mind, energize the body, and even help people better manage pain.

Health and Self-Care - Self-care is really important! We all know to put fuel into the car, to make sure we have an income into our bank account - but many of us ignore the Bank of Health. We continually take out, and forget to put in - what we forget is that if we keep taking out, sooner or later the Health Account becomes seriously overdrawn - and we become unwell.

Somerset Drug and Alcohol Service - Somerset Drug & Alcohol Service is run by Turning Point. We create individual recovery plans from a range of services, no matter what your situation is. We offer services for adults, young people and their family and friends - 0300 303 8788

Alcohol Change - Alcohol Change UK is a leading UK alcohol charity, formed from the merger of Alcohol Concern and Alcohol Research UK. Alcohol is a part of many of our lives. We use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down, to cope. We treat it differently to other drugs; it’s legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged.

Yet in the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect any one of us, from any walk of life. The harm doesn’t end with the individual; each of us who drinks too much is part of a family and a community who feel the effects too, whether through frequent use of emergency services, drink driving, violence or neglect. We are Alcohol Change UK. We work for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol. We are not anti-alcohol; we are for alcohol change. We are for a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems – like poverty, mental health issues, homelessness – are addressed; where those of us who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever we need it, without shame or stigma. The problem is complex, and so the solutions aren’t simple. But we’re ambitious. Driven by our belief that every person deserves to live a full life free from alcohol harm, we create evidence-driven change by working towards five key changes: improved knowledge, better policies and regulation, shifted cultural norms, improved drinking behaviours, and more and better support and treatment.

Chard WATCH - Meeting other people who share a common experience and understand what you are doing really does make a difference. This is peer support, and by meeting with people who have travelled a similar journey helps create the bonds of friendship. This kind of relationship is purposeful – what you have in common brings you together & enables you to share your life in a more trusting place. You can then benefit from these relationships to look at things from new angles, develop greater awareness of personal and relationship patterns and support to challenge each other.
