Because you matter. 30-day challenge

SaraC_Scope

I'm posting this 30-day challenge on behalf of Chrissie Henson, who has been in touch with Scope. and the Cerebral Palsy Network.

Hi, I'm Chrissie. I am a person-centred therapist and author who also lives with Cerebral Palsy. I recently contacted @Richard_Scope as, over the last few months, I have set up a YouTube channel, [Because you matter - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@ChrissieHenson)

I feel there is a gap within mental health representation of disabled therapist/experts on social media. I am currently working on a 30-day challenge for this site and my [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/chrissie_becauseyoumatter/)

Here's a little more information about the challenge and how people can take part.

Because You Matter is a free 30-day challenge designed to help people pause, reflect and reconnect with their own sense of worth. Each day for 30 days, a simple post will be shared around the message “Because You Matter.”

The daily prompts encourage people to take a few minutes for themselves and think about their needs, feelings, boundaries, self-worth and the importance of recognising that they matter too. The challenge isn't about making huge changes overnight. It’s about small daily reminders and reflections that can help people begin to put themselves back on their own list. The challenge has also been created alongside my Because You Matter booklet, which gives participants something tangible to work through alongside the daily posts and explore the themes in more depth.

The booklet is available for £4 each for anyone who would like to use it, but it isn't necessary to take part in the challenge; The booklet also comes with a free 30-day digital self-care calendar.

The challenge will begin on 1st September, with a new post shared each day for 30 days. People can follow along through the daily posts, and organisations are very welcome to share the posts with their own communities.

I’m pleased that Scope is happy to share the challenge the day before it begins, as I hope it will give people the opportunity to join from Day 1.

I’ve included the information you need below:

Challenge: Because You Matter – 30 Days

Thank you again for supporting the challenge. It means a great deal to me to have organisations such as Scope helping to get the message out to people who may really need to hear it
