Industry charity NewstrAid has unveiled its Mindful May calendar, a simple yet powerful tool designed to support positive mental health and wellbeing across the newstrade community.
Packed with easy-to-follow daily activities that encourage emotional self-care, the calendar has been sent to everyone currently receiving financial support from the charity and is also freely available to download via the NewstrAid website.
"Each May, we shine a spotlight on the importance of wellbeing and mental health within our industry,” said Katie Babooram, Welfare Manager at NewstrAid. “The Mindful May campaign – and this year’s calendar – offers simple, practical steps we can all take to boost our emotional resilience and overall wellbeing."
As part of its ongoing commitment to mental health, NewstrAid also provides access to a dedicated wellbeing website in partnership with mental health specialists Spectrum.Life. The platform offers a rich variety of free online resources – including podcasts, audio guides, expert-led discussions, and top tips for managing stress and staying calm.
Katie added: "We all experience stress and tough times – it’s part of life. But having the tools to manage those moments is key. Mindfulness is one such tool, and focusing on our mental wellbeing throughout May is a fantastic way to build those healthy habits."
