@TyDunne @BobMcGinn My man you have finally given some space for the goat, here and in the mailbag. Better late than never... even if it is from McGinn and not yourself. 😏 Appreciate you! And btw, loved the recent Ty and Bob podcast. @BobMcGinn talks about football like no one I’ve read/heard. Thx!

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

@RheaNewman15 Thanks for this Rhea, really useful and interesting!

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

@TyDunne Look at you with your French 😏

Today marks the end of Mental Health Month, but the conversation doesn't stop here. Let's continue to support one another, and work toward a stigma-free future where everyone has access to quality mental health care. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthMatters

@ahmedhankir If only many people realized they themselves were wounded children trapped in adult bodies…

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

No one should have to suffer alone. This #mentalhealthmonth, let's prioritize reaching out and checking in on our loved ones, and reminding them we are #morethanenough @NAMICommunicate. #MentalHealthSupport #Community I'm doing okay!

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

Nothing is more powerful than the voices of those of us who have lived through mental health challenges. Let's prioritize our inclusion in policy and program development for better #mentalhealthforall. #LivedExperience #InclusivePolicies

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

@TyDunne just letting you know I’ve just landed and immediately stood up in the plane aisle because my legs are long and needed to stretch

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

As we shape policies and programs related to mental health, let's not forget to include the real experts - those of us who have lived through mental health challenges. Our voices are vital. #MentalHealthExperts #InclusivePolicy

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

Very well put

[Professor Ahmed Hankir @ahmedhankir]

Your attention is a gatekeeper for your mental health. Normalise being selective about who & what receives your attention. Your headspace is just too precious.

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

Wrote this a couple years ago … but I think it still applies, unfortunately. While we all need to look after ourselves, #mentalhealth is a societal and political issue, not just an individual one. https://t.co/KQm0LLmoZF

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

@NAMICommunicate Being overly dependent on any one person. Instead I am careful who gets to be my supporter!

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

People with #livedexperience of mental ill health should be included in all policies and programs purporting to benefit us. #expertsbyexperience #nothingaboutuswithoutus

[Peter Varnum @petervarnum]

It was just over 20 years ago that I had my first brush with serious mental ill-health. Glad I’m still around to experience all of life’s ups and downs. Strength in vulnerability. #MentalHealthMatters #recovery
