January can bring a lot of pressure: to change, improve, or “get it right.” We want to remind you: 🩶You don’t have to make resolutions 🩶You don’t have to be perfect 🩶One difficult day doesn’t undo your healing Be kind to yourself. You deserve patience, not punishment.

Ian Charleson, star of the Oscar winning Chariots of Fire, died of AIDS on this day in 1990. He was 40, one of a generation decimated by the disease. We didn’t just lose friends, lovers, brothers; we lost the roles never played, the songs unwritten, the art never created. The loss is incalculable.

One of our free guides to #Autism and #MentalHealth is about arts and crafts. Inside, there are tips on how they can positively impact on mental health, as well as info on barriers to accessing arts and crafts. To see it and all our other guides, please visit leedsautismaim.org.uk/our-services...
