Loving the brilliant ideas and tools (and all the biscuits!) at the Youth Work Masterclass with @UKYouth and @logical_psych Thanks for such an interesting and valuable day! #youthwork #youngpeople

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

@Katherinelandeg @KevinRossall Yes definitely!! Might make it much easier to get a conversation going, with no pressure. And some are really positive too!

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

Oh I love this! Brilliant ideas for starting those difficult conversations. So useful for anyone who’s not sure what to ask or where to start. I’m definitely going to steal these! #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #TimeToTalkDay

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

As a parent, it can be hard asking your child to open up about their mental health. Here are some conversations starter that you may find helpful #TimeToTalkDay

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay - a great reminder that everyone has it, so let's learn how to support each other. It's time that everyone who needs help gets it. #WMHD18 #mentalhealth

@ChrisSzuca Thank you 😀

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

@ChrisSzuca Thanks Chris! I'm actually off travelling soon, so sadly timing won't work - I would definitely have been interested otherwise. Thanks so much for thinking of me and sending me the tip. Hope you're well!

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

@DianaSheridan11 @Guiding_LaSER @Girlguiding @CudhamShaws It was so exciting to see them being open, sharing thoughts and ideas, and being so supportive to each other. They were having brilliant conversations - I learnt loads from listening to them!

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

I might be spending my day off doing safeguarding training but my balcony game is strong. I mean, it's TINY but it has sun and flowers. #happyplace #safeguarding #mentalhealth

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

@MADSciJim Yes, do, it's so worthwhile! I know right, such a good initiative!

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

Day 2 done and whew! What a fab course Mental Health First Aid is - if you can, please give it a go. So much useful, practical info that really empowers you to support the people around you. DO IT! #ymhfa #mhfa #mentalhealth @MHFAEngland

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

First day of Youth Mental Health First Aid done and it was rather brilliant!

Such important and practical info. Plus, homework was to spend one hour doing something that makes me happy. What's not to love?!

Thank you @MHFAEngland @Rethink_ #ymhfa #mhfa #mentalhealth

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem.

Conversations save lives so it's on the rest, the 3 in 4, to make it easier for people to open up. Take a minute to reach out. Show you care. Listen. It can change everything #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

@BethanHM @sam_murray01 Haha amazing!! Miss it big time!

[Emma Thomson @em_thomson]

About to face the snow after #fit4life @GuidingCroydon but feeling warm and fuzzy after such a great day! The guides had such creative ideas for #wellbeing I think I might steal some!
