🧠 As AHPs, as well as supporting others' mental health, we also maintain our own.

⏰I like to schedule time for self-care and taking walks with friends.

Good to see two of our second year students @HollsSexton and @Maisy_Kent raising awareness of mental health issues whilst on their role emerging placement today with @improvinglivess for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

Today we’re hosting a parliamentary reception for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, where we'll be addressing the inequalities of access to movement.

We’ll be highlighting how too many people are denied the chance to do things that are good for their mental health due to living with a long-term health condition or disability, financial strain, and inequality.

We need to ensure that people living with these additional barriers are adequately supported, as well as address the root causes of poor mental health, if we are to achieve good mental health for all.

Movement isn't just good for the body—it reduces stress, boosts mood, and enhances overall well-being. Let's lead by example and prescribe self-care for ourselves and our patients. 💪🧠

Social prescribing boosts mental health by connecting people to community activities & support. It's about holistic wellness and finding joy beyond traditional treatments.🌿✨ #MHAW24 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
