Movement Magazine: Issue 159

Welcome to Issue 159 of Movement magazine!
The theme of this issue ties into our latest campaign and
takes a look at Mental Wellbeing. You might have seen our
#WorryFreeWednesday posts on our social media channels,
where we share a weekly encouragement to take time to look
after yourself. On page 27 you can find a cut-out-and-keep
version, which is especially handy if you’re taking time away
from social media to focus on exams or assignments.
The guest feature in this issue is from our campaign partners
Space to Breathe on page 19. Andy Freeman tells us more
about how Space to Breathe came about and how they work
with people to enhance their wellbeing. Jo Fitzsimmons of Self
Harm UK gently reminds us that we are responsible for own
wellbeing, and shares her advice for taking care of ourselves
on page 23.
On page 12 you’ll find our interview with Jasmine Yeboah, the
current Methodist Youth President. Jasmine tells us about her
faith journey and how she looks after her mental wellbeing in a
busy and demanding role.
With Student Sunday quickly approaching we’ve included some
intercessions that you can use in your service on page 17, and
inside you’ll also find the usual news and updates from the
movement.
Finally, SCM is looking for volunteer editors to oversee the
publication of future issues of Movement magazine. Do
you have ideas for potential features, or want to hone your
skills as an interviewer? Visit the website to find out more –
