Our incredible staff team at St Clair Gardens, Coventry, Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind’s 24-hour mental health nursing facility in Coventry, recently took time out for a much-deserved away day.

The morning was spent reflecting on our achievements over the past year and celebrating the positive impact we’ve had, even through challenges. We also introduced a new way of working, launching in October, to ensure we continue growing as a service and providing the very best person-centred care for our residents. Group sessions then gave us the chance to explore our roles and strengthen how we work together.

Although the afternoon weather stopped our planned outdoor activity, spirits remained high with pizza and dancing instead!

Taking time out like this is vital for our own wellbeing. Just as we care for our residents, it’s important that we look after ourselves as a team: celebrating our successes, supporting one another, and remembering why we do what we do.

A big thank you to Harry Salt staff for holding the fort, so the whole team could enjoy the day together.
