Great British Menu, why would anyone choose 2 egg based dishes as the starter and fish course? Are the judges mad? Not impressed at all.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, & every other day, it is important to remember that we all have mental health & that most of us will struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives. It’s okay not to be okay- you are not alone. Someone is always there to listen so let’s talk.

[Glasgow Educational Psychology Service @GlasgowEPS]

If you aren’t ready to talk to someone you know, or want to connect with others who may be feeling the same, @Togetheralluk offers a free online community dedicated to starting conversations & creating a safe place to share.

[Glasgow Educational Psychology Service @GlasgowEPS]
