A good community gives you a really strong sense of belonging, like I belong here. We need to be really intentional and conscientious about turning communities into properly strong communities where people feel safe and belong.
Imagine a place where waffles aren't just delicious, but also a tool for bringing people together. In this episode of the Recovery Devon podcast, hosts Sami and Jody chat with Matt and Kerry from The Community Waffle House about the true essence of community and its impact on mental health. The discussion takes you on a journey through what it means to belong, the hurdles communities face during lockdowns, and the vital role of intentionality in creating strong, supportive networks.
Matt and Kerry share how their café in Axminster has become more than just a spot for tasty treats—it's a hub for connection and support. They dive into the importance of making meaningful connections and how these bonds can significantly aid mental health recovery. Sami and Jody also reflect on their work with Recovery Devon, emphasizing that a strong community is built on effort and genuine care.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how we can all contribute to creating spaces where everyone feels they belong. Whether you're looking to get involved or simply curious about the power of community, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how small actions can lead to big changes in mental health and well-being.
