Delighted to join @samaritans.bsky.social in Parliament to mark #BrewMonday – Samaritans’ takeover of so-called “Blue Monday”. The truth is that people can struggle on any day of the year, and I pledge to work with Samaritans to ensure support is always available.
Did you know that “Blue Monday” is a myth created to sell holidays? I joined the @samaritans #BrewMonday takeover in Parliament earlier this week to discuss how we can work together to reduce the number of people who die by suicide.
I know I'm a bit late - but the message is still just as important. I'm proud to be supporting @samaritans.bsky.social #BrewMonday takeover. I pledge to work with them to ensure fewer people die by suicide by making suicide prevention a priority in Parliament.
🧠🗣️☕️ As many of you know, mental health is really important to me. That's why I made sure to spend some time with the incredible @samaritans.bsky.social for their #BrewMonday event yesterday.
We discussed my recent Walk & Talk event and I was able to thank them for all the amazing work they do. ☕️🗣️🧠

☕️Yesterday, I met the Samaritans at their #BrewMonday Cuppa & Catch Up to discuss how we can help to prevent suicide.
Feeling blue can happen any day, so it's important to reach out & check in with those we care about.

January can be a tough - long shifts, short days, and ongoing pressures can leave us feeling drained before the year has even started.
Yesterday our staff took time out to embrace Brew Monday - a reminder to pause and check in with one another.

Out and about this #BrewMonday ☕
We shared brews, conversations and a reminder that no one has to feel unheard when it comes to health and care.
Thanks to everyone who welcomed us in along the way 💙

Thank you to everyone who has joined with us to mark #BrewMonday today, supporting the amazing work of the volunteers at @samaritans.bsky.social!
To mark #brewmonday I met Oscar, a lived experience advisor to the Samaritans. January isn't the only time of year when we can feel things are getting tough. Sitting down with a cuppa for a chat can make a difference to our mental health all year round - more here: www.samaritans.org/support-us/c...
On #BrewMonday, take some time out to have a chat and a cuppa ☕

My current status is best described as 'medically dependent on caffeine.' ☕️
Happy #BrewMonday to everyone else just trying to make it to Tuesday. We got this (I think).

#BrewMonday at the Intensive Care Society - it was great to chat with colleagues on everything from Traitors to our favourite Christmas gifts!
Thank you Samaritans for the chance to slow down, unwind and reconnect in a busy January - a vital check-in on our wellbeing as a team.
Today I joined @samaritans.bsky.social for #BrewMonday. It was a reminder of how much of a difference a simple cuppa, a catch-up, or just talking about how we’re feeling can make.
If you or someone you know needs support, Samaritans are available on 116 123 or jo@samaritans.org
☕ It’s #BrewMonday with @samaritans.org — a reminder that a simple cuppa and a kind ear can mean everything.
If someone opens up today, how we listen really matters.
Check out the tips in the image and take a moment to be there for someone 💛

Today, our team marked #BrewMonday by getting together and having a chat! We had tea, biscuits and fresh fruit and took some time to share ideas of how we can boost our own #wellbeing @samaritans.bsky.social
We forgot to mention earlier that we have made a #BrewMonday series of #MuseumJigsaws based on all these featured portraits

🍵While today is often dubbed as #BlueMonday, @samaritans.bsky.social are instead opting for #BrewMonday, encouraging us to check in with one another & break the stigma around mental health.
I joined them in Parliament to discuss how we can work together to ensure fewer people die by suicide.

☕️ It’s #BrewMonday! Put the kettle on, take a breath, & connect with others. This is exactly what Mrs Brown & Mrs Edwards have done at lunch. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop & have a cuppa. If you ever need a chat then we’re here to listen in The Lighthouse. #YouAreNotAlone #MHMatters

The Carers Worldwide logo appears in the top left corner. At the bottom, an orange banner reads: “Start a conversation #BrewMonday”
It's supposed to be #BlueMonday but we prefer the @samaritans.bsky.social's #BrewMonday ✨
For millions of #UnpaidCarers globally, caring is part of their daily lives. Their vital role can be demanding, both physically & emotionally.
That’s why support matters & it can start with a conversation 💬

People can feel low on any day of the year but connecting over a cuppa is a great way to check in with each other 💚 https://bit.ly/3aaYyUD
