Finding Joy in the Work: A Reflection on Happiness and Healing - Harmless By Danny Charters (Therapist) As a therapist at Harmless, I inevitably spend a great deal of time thinking about suffering. People generally refer into our service due to forces in their lives (either internal, external or both) that are causing them distress. In therapy sessions, I work together with my clients to find ways of […]

Healing isn’t just about getting through the hard days – it’s also about acknowledging what brings light. For this week's blog, our colleague Danny reminds us that joy can live alongside struggle, quietly restoring us and bringing us fulfilment.

Every Seat Matters: The Ripple Effect of Cancellations in Suicide Prevention Training - Harmless By Helen Birch (Training & Education Officer) At Harmless, the centre of excellence for self harm and suicide prevention, we believe in the power of connection. Our training sessions are carefully designed to be interactive, engaging and impactful. To maintain this high standard, spaces are intentionally limited. However, there is an ‘uncomfortable truth’ we must […]

Our training better equips you to help others and make a real difference – but every empty seat in suicide prevention training is a missed chance to save a life, breaking a chain of support and skills that ripple through our communities: harmless.org.uk/every-seat-m...

Different, Not Less: World Autism Acceptance Week - Harmless By Eleanor Haggar (Clinical Support Worker) This week marks World Autism Acceptance Week – an opportunity to improve public understanding, celebrate neurodiversity, and promote practical inclusion through school resources, fundraising and local events. By building understanding we can create communities where autistic people feel welcomed and supported. Understanding Autism Acceptance vs. AwarenessWhile awareness simply means […]

During World Autism Acceptance Week, our colleague Eleanor reminds us that different doesn’t mean less. By challenging stereotypes, celebrating neurodiversity and listening to autistic voices, we can build a more inclusive world for everyone. 👇

You Might Be Wrong About Bipolar - Harmless By Anna Scott (Clinical Support Worker) It takes an average of 9.5 years to get a correct diagnosis of bipolar disorder in the UK. The overwhelming misunderstanding of what the condition involves can be a major hindrance for diagnosis. Despite being present in roughly 1 in 100 of us, many of us have a warped […]

Ahead of World Bipolar Day on Monday, our colleague Anna challenges some myths for this week's blog. Bipolar isn’t just 'mood swings' – it’s complex, misunderstood and often stigmatised. Learn more, listen better and rethink what you think you know.

Eid-al-Fitr: Exploring Grief in Celebration - Harmless By Ammarah Peerbhai (Clinical Support Worker) and Jess Paine (Fundraising & Events Officer) ‘In Islam, hardship and loss are acknowledged as inevitable parts of the human condition. While your faith can offer immense strength, meaning and comfort, it does not magically erase the pain of grief’ (Bucks Family Network) Many of our friends, colleagues, and […]

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating. While Eid al-Fitr brings joy, it can also stir grief and absence for some. This week's blog offers support, reflection and compassion for those navigating loss during Ramadhaan and Eid. #NoOneLeftBehind

The Quiet Space Between: A Motherhood Without the Calendar - Harmless By Caroline Harroe (CEO) Motherhood, for me, isn’t a tidy row of flowers or a perfectly set table. It is a sprawling, vibrant, and sometimes breath-stealing tapestry. It’s woven with the chaotic laughter of my five children – each with their own beautiful, quirky rhythm – and held together by a strength I didn’t know […]

Motherhood isn’t only milestones. Some moments sit in the quiet in-between – unseen, unspoken, yet deeply felt. Following Mother’s Day, our CEO Caroline reflects on loss, identity, and the spaces we carry but rarely name.

National No Smoking Day 2026 – My Experience as an Ex-Smoker - Harmless By Anna Senkowska-Gracka (Clinical Administrative Officer) I have never been a heavy smoker – I used to joke that cigarettes were my ‘bad five-a-day’, and have never seen myself as an addict (despite clearly being one). I started smoking in my late teens and carried on, with breaks of various lengths, for just over two […]

On #NoSmokingDay2026 our colleague Anna shares her journey from social smoker to smoke-free for six years. Quitting means better health, new habits and freedom from addiction. If you’re trying to quit, keep going – every smoke-free moment counts!
