Dear Friends,
2020 is continuing to surprise every single one of us with some incredible life lessons and experiences.
These past few months have been very intense and overwhelming for most of us and surely we are going to have more of these difficult and unpredictable days ahead.
Our thoughts are with the most vulnerable people and those working the hardest for the benefit of the highest good of every single individual in society.
Many thanks go also to fellow mental health campaigners and allies that are keeping working towards the necessary improvements in society and sharing knowledge via raising awareness. I have not been sharing any online events or other happening in the past few months as I have personally been disconnecting from most of the news et al, putting self care as my priority.
For people that have easy access to the internet and media I trust plenty of these resources that have been circulating.
However if anyone was or is still looking for any mental health related information, the list of links that cover a broad perspective of mental health care and action is temporarily available again on the right hand side of our page friends-of-east-end-
Please, bear in mind that the list has not been updated now in a few years and many links are no longer active.
For East Londoners and those willing to travel, please join us at LARC for a relaxed catch up in de-isolation times tomorrow Monday 15 June, from 6:30pm.
With the easing up of the lockdown's restrictions, a better understanding of the virus and how to deal with it, us adults are equipped and in charge of our own decisions and actions.
For those unwell/that might be experiencing symptoms or are simply virus-phobic I would recommend to stay at home, please. Last month three of us gathered and it was beneficial to find that sense of "normal" connection.
Global changes and consciousness growth are the amazing opportunities in disguise behind these challenges. I doubt that any revolutionary times marked history without troubling all involved in a way or another. A better way to invest our energy while living this (and any) uncertain times is to have faith, compassion and patience. Getting consumed by intoxicating fear, anxiety and anger is not likely to take us far... Stay well, strong and take care of yourselves folks.
