Mental Health Reminders:
Speak kindly to yourself
It’s OK to feel lost sometimes
You’re loved by so many
You are not ever alone
These feelings will pass soon
Good things are coming

This #WorldMentalHealthDay check in with those around you. “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right” is this years theme, so for me this means remembering it’s ok to not be ok and it’s good to talk about mental health and remind each other that it’s not a taboo subject!

[RAF Air Cadets Drill & Ceremonial @RAFAC_DandC]

Remember, it’s OK to not be OK, and it’s good to talk, whether to those close to you or a complete stranger. Just remember that you are not alone.
