We know you\u2019re coming to Colours for unforgettable, intense experiences\u2014and trust us, there will be plenty this year! \ud83e\udd29 But even the most seasoned festival-goer can sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowds, noise, a whirlwind of emotions\u2026 How do you process so many sensations all at once?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remember\u2014you\u2019re not alone<\/strong>. \ud83d\udc50 Whenever you need support, you can visit our Mental Health tent<\/strong> right here on the festival site. There, experienced professionals from the charity organisation ADRA<\/a><\/strong> will be ready to help. Whether you need crisis intervention, emotional support, or simply a quiet moment away from the noise and crowds, this is your safe space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I find the Mental Health tent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make it easy for you to find your safe space, we\u2019ve placed the Mental Health tent right by the main entrance, between the Information point and First Aid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to prevent feeling overwhelmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you head to Colours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcac Talk openly<\/strong> beforehand about your feelings or any worries with people you trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udec1 Practise a calming breathing technique<\/strong>: breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 2, breathe out for 5, hold for 2. Repeat until you feel more relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcf2 Save this number: 116 123 <\/strong>\u2014 the free, 24\/7 mental health helpline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc42 If you\u2019re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs<\/strong> (you can also pick some up at the Mental Health tent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Colours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc40 Take some time to explore the festival site and find quiet spots<\/strong> where you can catch your breath throughout the day. We also recommend visiting the Mental Health tent<\/strong>\u2014you\u2019ll find it by the main entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd1d Agree on meeting points with your friends<\/strong> in case you get separated or if someone isn\u2019t feeling well. It\u2019s also a good idea to have a group chat <\/strong>to share your locations<\/strong>, photos, and funny moments during the day. If your phone runs out of battery, don\u2019t worry\u2014there are plenty of charging stations <\/strong>around the site, so you\u2019ll be back online in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0b Staying for all four days? Brilliant! We suggest easing into it gently<\/strong> to avoid running out of energy on day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udef6 Be kind to yourself<\/strong>. Pay attention to how you\u2019re feeling and adjust your plans accordingly<\/strong>. Colours offers a packed programme, but even Superman couldn\u2019t catch everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Plan your day with regular breaks for food, plenty of water, and rest<\/strong>. Carry a refillable water bottle to top up at any of the drinking fountains<\/strong> around the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7a We know you know this, but we\u2019ll say it anyway \u2014 drink responsibly and take breaks between drinks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca5 Avoid arguments and heavy conversations<\/strong>, especially if you\u2019ve had a few drinks. It\u2019s easier to sort things out with a clear head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26fa Plan your journey back to your accommodation in advance<\/strong>, so you\u2019re not worrying about it when your feet are worn out after dancing all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udeb6 Remember, it\u2019s perfectly okay to leave whenever you want<\/strong>. Just let your friends know so they don\u2019t worry about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do if you suddenly don\u2019t feel well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also find these steps on an information card available at the Mental Health tent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Start by taking deep breaths<\/strong>: breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 2, breathe out for 5, hold for 2. Repeat as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Focus on the \u201chere and now.\u201d<\/strong> Count things around you, look for objects of the same colour, tense and relax your muscles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Move away from the crowd and noise<\/strong>. Find a quiet spot or visit the Mental Health tent<\/strong> by the main entrance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Have a drink of water<\/strong> and sit down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If you don\u2019t feel like talking to anyone in person, call the free Mental Health Helpline<\/strong> on 116 123<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Don\u2019t hesitate to approach staff in purple T-shirts<\/strong> anywhere on site, or come to the Mental Health tent<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If something truly traumatic has happened, remember we\u2019re on your side at the Mental Health tent and here to help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
