From the 15th May – 21st May it is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the theme this year is #anxiety. In our first post this week we are thinking about what anxiety is, how to recognise the symptoms, and strategies and distraction exercises to help ease anxiety 👇

We know it can be overwhelming when you're studying for exams.

Breathing exercises can help focus your thoughts if you're feeling stressed or anxious. One of our favourites is the 4-7-8 technique. Save it for whenever you need or visit https://t.co/EubrQesWc6 for more support 💜

Parents and carers of children with autism describe their child being upset and dysregulated when home from school but when they try and speak to school they are totally surprised because they don’t see this behaviour in school.

This is because of masking. 🧵

This #TimeToTalkDay, send this message to someone you’re close to. Talking about our mental health doesn’t have to feel heavy. It can simply be regular conversations about how you’re really feeling. Let’s get talking.

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

We really mean this. Don’t ever feel you have to struggle in silence. There are always people and organisations who want to help you. #TimeToTalkDay

November is #MensHealthAwarenessMonth conveying important messages on how we need to break the stigma around men’s mental health. It's ok for men & boys to talk about feelings.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. In fact the two go hand in hand together 🧠❤️
