I’m probably going to be ranty today folks. Sorry. Well not really. For more than a decade I’ve been challenging attitudes to mental health at work & the pace of progress is horrible. Too much talk. Not enough action. We need REAL ACTION & that means addressing workplace causes.

On World Mental Health Day I say only this. Corporate employers & law firms of the UK. Quit window dressing & virtue signalling & really address the abhorrent workplace treatment of those with mental ill health. Your hypocrisy makes me want to vomit on a daily basis.

Mother’s Day can be a time of celebration and gratitude for some, but for others, it can be difficult and painful. If you know someone who may be struggling this Mothering Sunday, reach out, let them know you're there & that whatever they're going through, it's ok to say.
Yesterday I ran a very short session for an empassioned group, given time constraints we focused on nothing more complex than this..it doesn’t have to be hard, sometimes it just needs permission #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #suicidefirstaid

Depression which begins earlier in adolescence appears to be different to later onset depression, thus it may require different treatments or interventions elfi.sh/2EDmtjk

This is a travesty. If you want to help raise the profile of #anxiety research check out the @GLADStudy, the largest ever interdisciplinary study of #anxiety and #depression. @psychgenomics @OfficialNIHR @NIHRMaudsleyBRC @KingsIoPPN
Spotlight On: Anxiety. A staggering 10 million people in the UK are living with anxiety, yet just 21 pence is spent on research each year for every person affected. That's less than the price of a single Freddo. #TuesdayThoughts
This morning I was delayed by two hours due to a person jumping under the train. We need to keep talking about #mentalhealth so people know they are not alone. It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 tomorrow. I’m a Mental Health First Aider - always here to talk.

1 in 10 children experience a mental health issue – that’s 3 in every classroom. Talking is the first step in offering support. Check out @MHFAEngland’s #HandsUp4HealthyMinds toolkit for top tips for starting the conversation buff.ly/2RDnX0c #ads #WorldMentalHealthDay
