Parenting isn’t always easy. Although it’s often amazing and rewarding to watch your children grow up, and to help them learn to be independent, it can also be really hard work. Here are our tips for looking after your child while also looking after yourself.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Worrying or difficult behaviour might be short-lived, so give it some time. All children go through stages of feeling anxious or angry and they can show this in lots of ways - for example, tantrums, crying, sleeping problems or fighting with friends or siblings. They might be adapting to a change in the family or in their school life, or just trying out new emotions, and will generally grow out of worrying behaviour on their own or with family support.

Parenting is a demanding job, that means we are busy nearly all the time and can have very little time to think about ourselves or our own needs. This can create stress and have an impact on how we feel. However, because we are so busy, doing things to look after your mental health can feel like another thing to add to the already overwhelming to-do list, so it gets forgotten about.

However, looking after your mental health doesn't require big tasks and doesn't need to take lots of time. Even adding tiny moments of relaxation into your day can help manage stress and have a positive impact on how you feel. These tiny moments can help us respond better to stress and calm us down. They can also create positive emotions that help us feel good in our mind and body, and the effects can last longer than the moment itself.

Tiny moments can also be about taking time to nurture yourself - drink some water, take a nap if possible, or eat something that gives you the boost you need. Fitting in or planning for a few tiny moments throughout the day is a simple and manageable way to help you look after your mental health proactively.

YANA: help for those involved in agriculture and other rural businesses affected by stress and depression

Working in agriculture and the countryside is usually a good way of life but it is a demanding and stressful occupation. So, it's not surprising that many people involved with agriculture can feel isolated, depressed or unable to cope as well as normal.

1 in 4 people in the UK will experience poor mental health so it is important to know that you, or the person you are concerned about, are not alone.

Remember depression is an illness not a weakness

Those who work in agriculture and other rural businesses are often reluctant to seek support for depression, stress or anxiety. However, talking about your problems and seeking appropriate help can make it easier to cope and improves your quality of life.

If you are involved with agriculture or another rural business in any way and are feeling low or struggling, or if you are worried about a member of your family, a colleague or a friend, YANA can help. Call our helpline 0300 323 0400 for confidential support or email helpline@yanahelp.org.

Remember, you don't have to struggle by yourself - good help is available.

If you are very seriously worried about someone else and their mental state go to our Concerned about someone page NOW. Please don't hesitate to take action.

YANA offers specific help for those involved with agriculture or other rural businesses in East Anglia through our work:

Wherever you live and work, we hope you find YANA useful.

Our helpline is here to support you - particularly if you feel you have reached a moment of crisis. We know that moment of crisis is different for everybody - some people can reach that point daily, and for some people it is a rare occurrence.

Our trained helpline volunteers aim to be empathic and non-judgemental, providing space and time for you to talk about your mental health, or the mental health of someone close to you. For information on confidentiality, please visit our Confidentiality page.

Would you like us to call you?

SANE will retain the callback service we opened during the pandemic, so you can still leave us a message on 07984 967 708 giving us your first name and phone number, and we will call you back within a few days.

Anybody is welcome to call us if they need to talk, or want support. The helpline is a confidential service for anyone aged 16 or over.

If you're under 16, there are specialist services for people your age which would be better suited to talk with you - you're welcome to email us to get more information at support@sane.org.uk

SANEline caller
Getting through to SANEline
Our lines can be busy, but our lines are open every night. If you keep trying, you are likely to get through. It may be easier to get through between 4-4.30pm and 8-9pm. It may also be easier to get through on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Call charges

SANE does not charge for its services but your phone provider may charge you. We have an 0300 number and this means helpline calls are inclusive in allowances on landlines and on mobiles on the same basis as calls to geographic (01 and 02) numbers, or are otherwise charged at a rate that does not exceed the rate for calling an 01 or 02 number. The call charges are set by, and retained by, the caller's phone provider.

Ages for SANE services

We are sorry but you are not able to use our services if you are under 16. We understand that you are looking for emotional support, please contact Childline on 0800 1111, it supports anyone up to 19 years old, or visit The Mix which supports young people up to the age of 25.
Message for 16 to 17-year-olds
It is really important to us that our services are a confidential support to you. However, as you are under 18 the law says we may sometimes have to share information if you tell us something which makes us think you are unsafe. If we are going to share information you have told us with people who can keep you safe, we will always try to contact you beforehand.
Message for all over 18
All of our services are confidential. We will only break this confidentiality if we are concerned about serious risk of harm to others. This includes the risk of harm to a young person under the age of 18 or to an adult who is vulnerable. If appropriate, we will always try and contact you beforehand.

We also offer c-card pick up and registration and food bank vouchers. In the meantime, please call for remote support. We will do our best to support you that way.

Remember all of these services are free and you don’t need an appointment. On occasion you may have to wait until someone can see you.

Social Prescribing is about enabling and supporting people to become more involved in community life, to improve their health and well-being which may lead to a change in behaviour and way of living. It is not a new concept, it may be known by a different name such as care navigation, community connectors, and local area coordination.

A place for our Lincolnshire health and wellbeing workforce to reflect, learn and share how together we support people to live their best life.

Imagine a world where the people you support are able to have more choice and control over their health and wellbeing, where they weren't seen as a condition or on a pathway but as people with different experiences. Where they are able to make a shared and informed decision about the next steps with a professional who sees them as an equal and active partner in their life and care.

Imagine if people who you support had the knowledge, confidence and skills to be able to look after their own health, which was tailored to them and their level of literacy and understanding.

Imagine that they only have to tell their story once and the focus of that conversation is about what matters to them and what's important and not what's the matter and what's wrong.

Imagine if we had a space where we could start to share, learn and reflect how far we've already come in making our vision real for the people we support. Well we have!

'It's all about people' is a place where we will be sharing all your stories, experiences and learning, where we want you to get involved and hear your voice about what matters to you and the people you support to enable us all to live our best lives.
Please explore the website to find out what other health and care teams across Lincolnshire are doing to embed person centred approaches into their work. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please contact us.
