COWAN HOUSE NEWS & OFFERS
COVID-19 UPDATE 06/05/2022
Most of our clinicians and therapist have returned to holding face to face appointments but please enquire for full details as one or two services are still being operated remotely. We are continuing to wear masks in the communal areas of the buildings, this helps to reassure our vulnerable clients that we are being considerate of their safety while seeing health practitioners here. Hand gels remain available to use in every room and we are still encouraging clients and staff to wash their hands frequently.
Recent suicide figures are not what we would have expected.
The Samaritans have published National suicide rate comparisons between 2019 and 2020. An Interesting read when you consider the lockdowns... Some figures are improving but it also dramatically shows men are more prone to commit suicide. What is more surprising is at the age range in which this occurs. Males in 2020 aged 45 to 49 sadly are statically much more susceptible to taking their own life. Approximately 3 times the figure compared with women generally (Office for National Statistics).
Why is this? People are surprised when suicide happens to someone they know, men can be good at hiding emotions and tend not to want to offload on to others. Career not going as planned. Relationships breaking down. Bad habits causing health issues that you might get away with when you were younger. Negative thought patterns such as "I don't have a purpose" or "people would be better off without me".
Let us see if we can help... Encourage your friend, associate or partner to seek help.
Counselling as a start may be tricky to face, but we do other things too! Think...
Sports or relaxation massage for that annoying shoulder, hip or painful neck
Hypnotherapy for bad habits
Acupuncture for migraines and headaches
Reflexology for sleep issues
Life coaching for a career change
Aromatherapy for lowering stress levels
Talking also helps, there are many ways to encourage someone to talk and men may find it more complicated to access that safe space..
Softly, softly.. can be a way forward...
