This is why #mentalhealth awareness is so important in our working lives #MHAW2020
Experiencing a mental health problem is hard enough, without having to deal with the shame and isolation that often comes with it. Your attitude towards mental health could change someone's life. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW2020

For #MHAW2020 we will promote organisations which support our #mentalhealth - first up @heads_together
The #MentalHealthMinute just connected over 20 million people across the country for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek💙 Take this moment to reach out to someone – let them know how you’re feeling, and ask them how they are too. Because we're all connected and you are not alone.

Keeping safe includes ensuring that employees have reasonable workloads
Employers must keep workers safe or get shut down. RT if you agree.

Hats off to all our members, both frontline and support, who are helpin to keep the Criminal Justice System going in these most challenging times @TheLawSociety @thebarcouncil @cpsuk @HMCTSgovuk
A shout out to the court staff this morning & those working behind the scenes. Many of whom are still travelling to & working at court, under siege & in appalling conditions. We are all having to adapt. Mistakes will inevitably be made. Patience & kindness goes a long way 💕
