My Mental Health 101 for World Mental Health Day - Kim Clayden

World Mental Health Day is a really big deal! The signs of stress and anxiety can be really hard to identify. What is even more difficult is knowing which symptoms you have are stress-related or hypermobility syndrome related too! Do you ever notice that when you are more stressed than usual, just how negative your thoughts can be? Did you know, EVERY negative thought you have is converted into anxiety?

New website announcement

The new HMSA Charity website is launching on Moday the 16th September 2019! This new website is something that a lot of people have been working on in the background for quite some time now and it is much more user friendly than the old one. Here at the HMSA Charity we are absolutely bursting at the seams with excitement.
