This is Mental Heath Awareness week in the UK. During the week, we will be sharing some family stories that show how important our respite breaks are in helping to improve mental health.
Sometimes a few days from the pressures of everyday life can make the world of difference to a Forces family. Being able to step back from the school run, work emails and the daily juggle of shopping, cooking and cleaning really does give a family time to reconnect.
One of our families summed this up for us following their break earlier in the year at Embleton Spa, “What can I say, what an amazing place and what an amazing holiday. The kids had the best time, especially in the spa pool every morning before breakfast. This gifted holiday has had a major uplift on both mine and my wife’s mental health and something we really needed. Supporting a young family at the moment is extremely challenging so we are very grateful for the opportunity”.
Thank you to Embleton Spa for providing the much-needed break for this family.
