“It will ensure mental health is given the same attention and focus as physical health."🔥🔥🔥

We're excited by how prominent mental health was in today's #KingsSpeech. This is just the start. We'll keep pushing to make sure the new UK government delivers on these promises💪

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

For many people, the current heatwave brings a welcome opportunity to enjoy gardens, parks and outdoor spaces. But higher temperatures can also cause discomfort and a risk of dehydration for people living with dementia 👇

A holiday that is well-planned can have a positive impact on the wellbeing of the person with dementia and those around them 🏖️

They may need extra support when coping with a new environment or changes to their usual routine.

[Inter Faith Week @IFWeek]

#InterFaithWeek 12-19 November starts Sunday. Why not use the opportunity of the Week to reach out for a conversation with someone of a different #faith or #belief and talk about topics of your choice such as shared values, festivals or tackling stereotypes? That might be one-on-one or a small group of you at work or in other context. Helpful resources developed by @IFNetUK can be found at: https://t.co/6vjfLaEQ2v #minidialogues #dialogue #conversation #friendship #respect #learning
