💜Looking after your mental health is so important so make some time today for you to take a break and breathe.
This #WorldMentalHealthDay we'd like to shine a light on our pages for both care experienced people and the workforce.

#SQAResults day can be really stressful with joy, relief and perhaps disappointment. It can seem like the be all and end all at the time but our Other Options to Get Ahead guide contains advice and links to a host of other options. #NoRightPath

🤔At this time of year, with school, college and uni exams coming to an end, thoughts turn to next steps & (hopefully) exciting futures. Our guide on other options to get ahead can help therealtoolkit.scot/people-w…
💜We know that increasing workloads, long hours, vicarious trauma and resource concerns can impact on the mental health of professionals. This workforce guide highlights what support should be in place & links to further info. #mentalhealthawarenessweek therealtoolkit.scot/the-work…
💜Our guides, coproduced by those with care experience and the workforce, are here to support every day of the year. As we mark #mentalthealthawarenessweek we are shining a light on our mental health and wellbeing guides.
Check out the first of these at therealtoolkit.scot/people-w…

💜We'd like to wish everyone a happy #CareDay and say a big thank you, today & every day, to all the care experienced people who have helped to shape the Real Toolkit and make it what it is. therealtoolkit.scot
It's #CoProWeekScot and we are fully a subscribed member of coproduction. Everything we do is decided/created/informed by those with lived experience be that workers or people with care experience, but always together. Check it out therealtoolkit.scot/
Anyone got a tissue? 🥲 Crying happy tears at this year's @JohnLewisRetail Christmas ad. Such a beautiful way to highlight care experience and the impact fostering can make. Well done to everyone involved @whocaresscot @actnforchildren
💚EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!💜
Thanks to feedback from our advisory group and users of the site we have changed the 'Young People' section to 'People with Care Experience' reflecting that the guides are relevant to everyone with care experience, not just those of a certain age
#CEW22
Project Development Worker, Katrina has shared why the change has been made and why it's important in our latest blog staf.scot/Blog/changes-to-th…
