Traditionally, asking for help can be really hard. Helplines maintain confidentiality putting callers at ease when discussing their problem. It is one less barrier – and an important one as calling can be the point of saving a life. #HelplinesAwarenessDay
Excited to be at the @WalesHRNetwork Future of Work Conference with @DarwinGrayLLP. Great speakers and very thought provoking on the future fo work @eystwales

👉 Our EYST-led #TimeToTalk campaign starts here.
❓ We asked our staff what they have learnt or know about mental health that can help someone else.
💬 Here are some of those responses.
This morning towards the end of our General Meeting, we made everyone aware of #TimeToTalk Day and its importance. As a small task, we asked staff to hold an item that makes them happy, comforts them or reminds them of something/someone. Nice to see EYST is among the items list!
#TimeToTalkDay It is so important to talk. People often carry things which weigh them down. Sharing can be transformative & bring real hope, quoting @BiffyClyro "I am hoping, through the dark clouds, light shall break and bring a bright sky". sharing can start this! @eystwales
