Eat a balanced diet and drink sensibly: Improving your diet can protect against feelings of anxiety and depression. 2. Maintain friendships: Just listening and talking to friends who are feeling down can make a huge difference. So make sure your devote time to maintaining your friendships both for their sake and your own. 3. Maintain close relationships: Close relationships affect how we feel - so nurture them and if there is a problem within a relationship, try and resolve it. 4. Take exercise: The effects of exercise on mood are immediate. Whether it is a workout in the gym or a simple walk or bike ride, it can be uplifting. Exercise can also be great fun socially. 5. Sleep: Sleep has both physical and mental benefits. Physically it is the time when the body can renew its energy store but sleep also helps us to rebuild our mental energy. 6. Laugh: A good laugh does wonders for the mind and soul. 7. Cry: It is good to cry. Even though it may feel terrible at the time, a good cry can release pent up feelings, and people often feel better afterwards. 8. Ask for help when you need it: The longer you leave a problem, the worse it will get. Don't be scared to ask for help from a family member, friend or professional. 9. Make time for you: Do you sometimes feel like you have no time for yourself? Make time for your hobbies and interests. 10. Remember, work isn't everything: Ninety one million working days a year are lost to mental ill-health in the UK so maintain a balance between work and other interests. 5! Introduction Welcome to the Directory for Health and Wellbeing signposting you to Services and Resources in Argyll & Bute. This directory has been produced as part of the modernisation of mental health services in Argyll & Bute to aid front line staff and members of the public in finding out relevant information on what resources are available in their area to support people to get well, be well and stay well. Overall, our objective is to promote mental wellbeing and prevent mental ill health. Where people do become unwell we are designing the services to promote independence and recovery. ‘There is no such thing as good health without good mental health’ Awareness of the importance of Mental Health and Wellbeing is essential in order to recognise and protect our own mental health and that of friends and loved ones. There are many factors that influence our mental health and wellbeing, life has its ups and downs. When things are going well for us, most of us feel mentally and emotionally well. Everyday set backs, long term illness, bereavement, separation, caring for someone, unemployment, family, housing and money problems are just a few examples that can cause us to feel anxious, stressed or depressed. 6! It is a well-known fact that 1 in 4 people will experience a period of mental health problems at any time during their life. We are all individuals. We all think and behave in our own way and react differently to stresses and strains. Sometimes it can be hard to deal with things, but with the right help, support and understanding it can be easier to cope with the difficult times. Remember, you are not alone. This directory aims to signpost the reader to the support that is at their doorstep. Good mental health can bring a healthier lifestyle, better relationships and greater satisfaction at work and at home. For comments, additions and updates to this directory, please email [email protected] The most updated version of this directory can be downloaded electronically from the following website: www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk/CHP/ArgyllandBute You can pick up a copy at your health centre, or local library. Thanks and appreciation is given to all participating agencies and individuals for their contributions to this directory. 7! ! ! ! ! 8!

My Crisis Contacts Name Number Notes: 11! Planning for an Emergency or Crisis It’s always best to plan for an emergency or crisis when you’re not actually in the middle of one. Things to think about are: Who would support me if I had an emergency or crisis Do I have their contact numbers If I have to be away from home, who would water my plants, look after my pets, cancel my paper, empty my fridge, collect my post etc. Some examples could be your neighbour, a family member, a support worker, a minister or spiritual advisor etc. It can also be useful to have numbers at hand for domestic emergencies such as burst pipes, gas leaks, electricity, police etc. You will find them in your local phone directory.

    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee DEVELOPMENT AND 20 June 2019 INFRASTRUCTURE Helensburgh, Cardross and Dumbarton Cycleway Update 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. This report updates Members of the progress made since the Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee on 21 March 2019 in relation to the delivery of Argyll and Bute Council’s long-standing commitment to the provision of a dedicated, high quality walking and cycle route linking Helensburgh, Cardross and Dumbarton. 1.2. The Council and the Cardross Trust have agreed the land agreement to allow the construction of the 285m section of the route, linking Cardross Station to the Geilston Burn. This section will be routed via Geilston Park [unadopted road], Cardross Playing Fields and Cardross Park. Officers are working to finalise the detailed plan for construction of the section of the route linking Cardross Station to the Geilston Burn, for summer 2019, including de-conflicting with the planned work by Network Rail in the Cardross Park/Geilston Burn from 03 June for approximately 6 weeks. 1.3. In April / May 2019, an extensive community and landowner engagement exercise was undertaken looking at the route of the cycleway between Colgrain, Helensburgh to Cardross (phase 1) and Cardross to Dumbarton (phase 2). A postal questionnaire was sent to 1,124 residential addresses in the G82 5 postcode area within Argyll and Bute, between Helensburgh and the Council boundary with West Dunbartonshire. 237 postal surveys (21%) and 89 online surveys were received. A public drop-in event was held on Thursday 16 May 2019 in the Geilston Hall, Cardross, with 109 individuals attending.

  • Port Glasgow's Landed Gentry and Gentlemen Farmers
    1 Port Glasgow’s Landed Gentry and Gentlemen Farmers By John Smith Page 1 Introduction to the Estates Page 2 A Chronology of the Six Port Glasgow Estates Page 5 Broadfield, Woodhall, and Broadstone Mansion Houses Page 17 Prominent Citizens and their Legacies Page 28 Coastline Estates, Murders and Timber Pond Deaths Page 32 Poaching, and Fyfe Park’s sad involvement Page 39 Broadfield and Broadstone Fox Hunting and Shooting Page 44 Coastal Estates Degraded by the Railway and Others Page 45 Woodhall and its Shipyard Opportunity Page 48 Transformation of the Estates by House Building Page 49 Summing Up 1. Introduction to the Estates This piece of writing attempts to tell some of the stories about six old estates that lay to the east of Port Glasgow in the nineteenth century and eventually got swallowed up in the town in the twentieth century. Initially the estates lay in Kilmacolm Parish before being incorporated by Port Glasgow as Port Glasgow moved eastwards. The stories will deal with the topics of brutal murders, infanticide, great wealth and great poverty, mainly in the times of the mid to late nineteenth century when Port Glasgow was rapidly changing as industry grew, and outside influences such as the railways made their mark. Three of the estates (Fyfe Park, Nether Auchenleck and Carnegie Park) were coastal estates belonging to gentlemen farmers.
