For Mental Health Day we decided to have a fun day in our HMO in Castle Douglas. Some of our service users took part in a pool competition mediated by staff.
Sometimes the simplest of pranks are the most effective, does that pool chalk smell funny?
After a fun filled, and somewhat intense pool competition, an unexpected underdog took the title.
We decided to get those brains working and our service users got stuck into the quiz. Of which there was topics for everyone, science, history, geography and pop culture containing questions on movies, music and comics.
There was music and laughter.
As keeping the brain active has positive effects on a person’s mental health I decided what better prizes to give out that puzzle books, adult colouring in books and of course sweeties.
