- We've had some negativity on Twitter today about us supporting migrants' mental health. We do, and we're really proud of that. We're here for everyone. And that includes refugees and asylum seekers in England & Wales, who have often experienced unimaginable trauma.
- We applaud Meghan Markle for speaking out about her experiences of suicidal thoughts. We know that opening up in this way can be really difficult, but when high profile people talk about these experiences, it helps to break down the stigma around mental health issues. 1/3
- We need to talk about Chris Kaba. ⬇ (1/3)
- People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort. Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us. We've sent an invite. 1/3
- Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health. His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.
- The news today might feel scary if you're currently off work for your mental health. We get it 💙 We just want to reassure you that these changes are *not* coming into effect right now. 1/2
- Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Please share our tips on what you can do right now, if you're feeling suicidal.
- It’s Men’s Health Week, remember this 🩵 Men, It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to show emotion. It’s okay to be emotional. It’s okay to feel sad. It’s okay to be okay. It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to feel. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to tell someone you’re struggling.
- Whatever you're going through, you're not alone. We're here for you this #WorldMentalHealthDay and beyond. Please like and retweet this post so we can reach someone who really needs to see it 💙
- Yesterday the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions @EstherMcVey1 mentioned us in a list of organisations who had recognised and welcomed changes to #UniversalCredit. We thought it was important to set the record straight.
00:00 - Replying to @MindCharityThe killing of an unarmed Black man by a police officer is hard to bear. Especially when young Black men die disproportionately at the hands of the police [source: Inquest]. The Queen's death is dominating the news right now, but Chris Kaba deserves our attention. (2/3)
- Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍 And it’s time for action. Take that first step to getting help. Or share this post and help us reach someone who really needs to see it 💙
