If you're having thoughts of suicide it's important to tell someone. You don't have to struggle alone - help and support is available. Call the Samaritans 116 123 or email [email protected]. You can also visit https://t.co/9CAhFkKYCk for help.

In her ‘Plan for Patients’ today, the Health Secretary made no mention of mental health.

Tens of thousands of young people are waiting for treatment across the country. Dr Thérèse Coffey has offered no hope that the government is committed to changing this.

In recent weeks, a string of high profile musicians have cancelled tour dates to protect their mental health

We love to see the conversation brought out into the light, and these brave acts demonstrating that it is okay to say no

We need your help. We are raising money to create a safe, peaceful, accessible respite centre to support people with thoughts of suicide or who have been affected by suicide

🧵 We’re in the middle of the biggest cost of living crisis in our generation. And money and mental health can be closely linked.

If you need support with money, your mental health, or both, you might find these suggestions helpful. (1/11)

We are all collaborators in creating a world freer from suicide

[Natalie, MS, LPC @kneadtotalk]

There is peace when you accept that life is both happy and sad. That joy and suffering often coexist. That this duality is what it means to be human. ❤️

Nearly 38,000 follow up appointments were missed for mental health patients within 72 hours of leaving inpatient care - a time when they are most at risk of suicide.

NHS staff are not provided the resources needed to meet sky-rocketing needs

From our analysis of the NHS’s May data:

📈 new record for emergency mental health referrals (992 up 37%)
📈 new record for open service referrals (457k)

Young people can’t wait any longer for the Government to act on this. They must #EndTheWait for change, now.
