Welcome to our place...
We are so happy to see you
Welcome!
This is our place
Not just Clarke and Carrie’s
Yours
We want you to feel comfortable. Right at home. Safe and secure
A lot of conversations about Mental Health can feel very clinical. Totally alien and unfamiliar
Or just plain scary
We never want you to feel like that in Our Place
We are all here to practice better Mental Well-being, every single day
That is the most important word here: Practice
But we can talk more about that next time
For now we just want you to rest assured that we aren’t here to scare you with statistics
Nor are we interested in tricking you into telling all and sundry how you are feeling
We know from personal experience, that progress can’t be made under such circumstances
So please, feel free to make this your little corner of the world, just as we have made it ours
Take a little break from the stresses of your world
Make yourself a lovely cup of tea. Sit down in a comfortable spot and see what new things we have for you today, in Clarke and Carrie’s Place
There is a membership section, which is £2 a month. So we get to add new bits and pieces to that, everyday
This blog you are reading right now, and the section you found it in, is free, and there will always be plenty for you to explore on there
If you are not in crisis, but suspect that you aren’t as well as you could be
Or how you feel is starting to dominate your life
Now is a great time to check out the resources listed in the directory, that are in your area
If you, or someone you know, is currently experiencing Mental Health Crisis, please follow our instructions under the red light STOP section
In the past we have also had to follow the red light instructions, so please do not feel alone in this
It is the single most beneficial thing that any of us can do to keep safe
And there are absolutely no substitutes for these instructions. So please follow them to the letter
Then, as you start to get better (which we both have personally done), you can look for service in the Amber and then Green Section
And all services listed in the Traffic Light sections, are free
Every single part of Clarke and Carrie’s place took years of planning
We tell you this, because we want to to know how very important we take your Well-being
Your journey is our journey
We all must learn the right tools to get well
We all must practice those skills to stay well
Thank you for pulling up a chair in Our Place
We look forward to seeing you around
Love & Blessings,
C&C
