People living with severe mental illness are likely to die 15 to 20 years earlier than the general population, often from physical health conditions that could have been prevented or treated.

Heart disease, diabetes and breathing problems are common. So are missed check-ups, medication side effects, and physical symptoms that get brushed off as "just their mental health".

The encouraging part is that this gap does not have to exist. Regular physical health checks, support to get to appointments, good food, movement, sleep and professionals who take someone seriously when they say they feel unwell all make a real difference. In community support, these everyday things are where lasting change happens.

This World Mental Health Day, book the check-up. Or help someone you support to book theirs.

Some people with a learning disability or autism are given medication to manage their behaviour, when what they really need is to be understood.

STOMP was set up to change that. It asks everyone involved in a person's care to make sure medication is used only for the right reasons, at the right dose and for the right length of time.

For support teams, that means doing the harder and more rewarding work first: finding what sits behind distress and changing what we can around the person. When that happens, medication reviews become real conversations about reducing safely, and people often feel more like themselves again.

Commissioners, families and professionals, if you would like to talk about STOMP-aligned support for someone, our team is here to help.

Some of the most important skills in social care will never appear on a job description.

Remembering exactly how somebody likes their tea. Knowing which song lifts the mood on a tricky morning. Noticing the quiet day before it becomes a difficult one. Being the person who always, somehow, finds the remote.

These everyday details are what turn support into a relationship. They help people feel understood, comfortable and genuinely at home, and they come from support workers who care enough to pay attention.

So today, we are celebrating them. Tag a support worker whose hidden talents deserve a shout-out, and tell us what they are brilliant at.

There is one moment in supported living we never get tired of: the first time someone locks their own front door.

For many adults with learning disabilities, autism or mental health needs, a key of their own arrives much later than it did for their friends. Sometimes it comes after years in hospital or shared settings where every door belonged to somebody else.

A key means privacy. It means choosing who comes in and when. It means home is somewhere you belong, rather than somewhere you have been placed. Few things build confidence quite like it.

Know someone who has just moved into their own place? Drop a 🔑 in the comments and help us cheer them on.

Delaying care often means delaying recovery.

The earlier the right support begins, the greater the chance to build confidence, stability, and independence.

At Standby24, we believe proactive, person-centred care isn’t just good practice - it’s life-changing.
Because care should reach you before crisis does.

Great care isn't only about today.

It's about helping people build a future filled with confidence, independence and opportunity.

That's the difference person-centred support can make.

28/07/2026

Person-centred care isn't a buzzword.
It's about seeing the individual before the condition, diagnosis, or care plan.

Listening first.
Understanding always.
Supporting every person in a way that respects their choices, goals and independence.

Because great care starts with the person—not the process.

26/07/2026

Every person's journey looks different.

At Standby24, we celebrate every achievement because every step forward matters.

25/07/2026

Safety is about more than walls and routines.
It's knowing someone will show up.
Someone will listen.
Someone genuinely cares.
That's what makes people feel at home.
