It's Brew Monday! ☕✨ Today is about so much more than the actual brew itself. We’re not just obsessed with tea, we promise!

It's all about the moments that happen around the brew, and the small but mighty power that asking ‘shall we have a cuppa and chat?’ can have. 🧵

@PencoedCompHead @PencoedRVE @FirstGiveUK @svcymru Sorry I missed you too! ☹️

@PencoedRVE @FirstGiveUK @svcymru It was lovely to catch-up with you! ☺️

[Georgia Taylor- Mental Health Advocate @GTaylor_02]

It was so lovely to be back at @PencoedComp to talk with a year 9 class about our projects 💙
Thank you for the lovely welcome and we are really excited to hear about the amazing work that you do to support our charity. We are so grateful 😊

Thank-you so much to @svcymru for coming in and speaking to 9.6 today. The learners really enjoyed learning more about the work you do and started planning their social action to fundraise for mental health awareness.

Welsh Government’s new mental health strategy is missing something: a specific focus on children and young people.

[Mind Cymru @MindCymru]

Mental health hospitals should be safe. They should be places of understanding, kindness and hope. Places where people feel respected and cared for. But sometimes, this isn’t the case.

Content warning: this thread mentions use of restraint in a mental health setting.

This week is National Eating Disorder week. There is still a desperate need for early intervention and for appropriate services to be available for people struggling! I will continue to speak out to raise more awareness and I am hopeful that things are slowly improving! ❤️

I wrote an article for the Western Mail about my experience with mental health services. Read below ☺️⬇️

It was so empowering to hear you speak so bravely about your experience. Thank you so much! ❤️

Gaps in #mentalhealth care in #Wales left one patient relapsing and losing a year of her life in order to recover. #eatingdisorder #Bridgend

[Jessica Bain @JessNFBain]

Another important story that not only highlights the need for a smoother transition from children to adult services, but also the lack of specialist eating disorder units in the WHOLE of Wales. This needs to change.

Inspiring story @GTaylor_02
