Spotlight on Self-Care at MAK Community Care
At MAK Community Care, we see self-care as an essential part of living well – not just for the people we support, but for everyone.
Self-care means taking time each day to look after your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. It’s about recognising your needs, making informed choices, and building habits that help you feel your best.
What does self-care look like?
Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as:
- Taking a short walk and getting some fresh air
- Preparing and enjoying a healthy meal
- Talking to someone about how you’re feeling
- Taking a break when things feel overwhelming
- Learning to manage your health or medication with confidence
It’s the small things – done regularly – that help people build resilience, independence, and a stronger sense of self.
Supporting everyday self-care
Across our services in Lincolnshire and Berkshire, we actively support people to develop self-care routines that work for them. This might mean helping someone plan healthy meals, encouraging them to express their feelings, or working together to manage stress and anxiety.
Our approach is always person-centred. We believe everyone should have access to the tools, knowledge, and support they need to make choices about their own care and wellbeing.
Whether someone needs a gentle reminder to take a break, guidance with medication, or reassurance during a tough time – our team is here to help.
Empowerment through self-care
For us, self-care is about empowerment. It’s about helping people take ownership of their lives and their health, one step at a time. We want every individual we support to feel confident in caring for themselves – physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Self-care is a daily practice, not a one-off event. And at MAK, we’re proud to support it every day.
