Tonight’s episode of #EastEnders featuring Phil’s month at the mental health unit was a powerful one. Open this to read why seeing storylines like Phil’s are important.

Mental health storylines like Phil Mitchell’s in #EastEnders are really important. We’re proud to have helped inform Phil’s story, as well as Mick’s 2020 storyline featuring a phone call with Samaritans. 1/4

Blue Monday isn’t real – don’t believe the hype you see today!

Here's why we’re binning it off to make space for ✨Brew Monday✨ instead.

[Samaritans @samaritans]

The tea chart has spoken! Do you agree with your #BrewMonday drink or are you ready to kick off in the comments? 🤣

Honestly, we’re just trying to get your attention before Brew Monday tomorrow! It’s not really about the drink, it’s about making time for a catch up together. 💚

[Samaritans @samaritans]

We need your help again with #BrewMonday this year!

Every year Blue Monday trends, and we’ve had enough – it’s a completely made-up concept. With your help we’re ready to take over the day again. ☕

Join us on 20 January and reach out for a cuppa and catch up with a mate. 💚

Today’s @ONS data shows that suicide rates registered in England and Wales last year were the highest in more than two decades.

These figures show that suicide rates are at a 20-year high and even worse than expected. This needs to be a wake-up call for the Government.

[Samaritans @samaritans]

The news cycle has been especially hard for many, please remember you're not alone.

We know a constant stream of upsetting stories and images on social media and in the news can cause stress and anxiety. We're always here if you need to talk anything through.

[Samaritans @samaritans]

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy and we stand ready to work with the new government to save lives.

Labour’s pledge to reduce suicide rates is a crucial step. With rates as high as they were more than 20 years ago, we must act now.

Let’s make sure the conversation this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is going far enough.

Our new research showed that only 45% of people are comfortable talking about suicidal thoughts.

We need that to increase because talking about suicidal thoughts can be lifesaving. 🧵

It was great speaking to Jay, Reielle and @BradGudger, founder of @AlikeUK, to hear about their experiences of cancer care in the NHS. On #WorldCancerDay, their stories are a reminder about the power of community and personalised care provided by our amazing NHS colleagues.
