A few words on #WorldMentalHealthDay 💛
When we say ‘Mental Health’ I think people forget it’s something we all have.

[Healthy Cornwall @HealthCornwall]

Inject some positivity😃into each day throughout October with this great calendar.

No young person should have to wait months for mental health support. #WorldMentalHealthDay

[University of Exeter Psychiatry Society @PsychSocExeter]

Hi everyone! Today is World Mental Health Day and we wanted to take a moment to emphasise how important it is to look after your own mental health.

[The Wave Project @WaveProject]

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay We want to celebrate the healing powers of the sea and togetherness 💙

[Beat @beatED]

Many parents and #carers contact us when their loved one is diagnosed with an eating disorder, as they don't know how to help - so we've put together an info pack to get you started. Call our helpline today on 0808 801 0677 to get yours!

[MHFA England® @MHFAEngland]

We don’t often talk about our #mentalhealth so it might seem a little daunting to start a conversation about it but it’s important to remember you don’t have to be an expert. Our #Take10Together resources has tips on how to start the conversation. #WorldSuicdePreventionDay

[The Wave Project @WaveProject]

On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we'd like to thank all our surf school partners, referrers and volunteer surf mentors for helping improve the mental health of young people, and giving them a better chance in later life 💙

Knowing who to contact in a time of mental health crisis, whether for yourself or someone you love, could be life-changing.

Save this image to your phone so you’ll always have the information you need, when you need it most.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. This is a really important opportunity for us to talk about something which is often really difficult to discuss.

In the U.K. in 2018, there were over 6,500 suicides.

[Wellbeing in Medicine Society @WellbeinginMed]

WiM Soc has already put out a lot of self-care resources (Note our month of instagram posts!) but you can find more right here:

Together, we can overcome. You are strong, brave, and you are in control of your life.
