Sometimes it’s easier to tell people we’re ‘fine’ than it is to say how we really feel. But with 1 in 4 of us likely to experience a mental health problem in any given year, it's important to make time to talk... Since 2014, February 1st has been 'Time to Talk' day across the UK - it's an initiative by charities including Mind, Rethink Mental Illness, SAMH and Inspire Therapeutic & Wellbeing Services all about creating supportive communities and having conversations with family, friends, or colleagues about mental health. There are many resources available on the dedicated website here: https://lnkd.in/eiZSZCSm They include ideas about starting a conversation - and being a good listener too. At SafeLane Global, remember our Mental Health First Aider Simon Rosser can confidentially signpost all colleagues to support, no matter where you are in the world... (If you don't have the same resources available in your workplace, and you want to talk to someone, this resource from Mind is an excellent place to start: https://lnkd.in/eUnj6_K) Let's make time to talk every day... #TimeToTalk #MentalHealth #SpeakUpForSupport 

Real Talk on Men Mental Health Week. This week our amazing Aftercare and Well-being Manager Stephanie, had some real conversations and open discussions with Chris, Jack and Stephen that shed light on the unique challenges men face in prioritising their mental well-being in a society that often equates masculinity with suppressing emotions. From battling anxiety and depression to overcoming much more, their stories were raw, vulnerable, and inspiring, a huge thank you to all of them for their openness in sharing their journeys with mental health - the achievements, the struggles, the failures, and the lessons learned. The key takeaway? We all have mental health, and it's ok not to be ok sometimes. What matters is reaching out for support when needed and not suffering in silence. Their is strength in vulnerability. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. We Are Footprint and our community are here to listen without judgement and provide resources. You don't have to go through this alone. Let's continue breaking down the stigma around men's mental health, one real conversation at a time. Share your thoughts below on this important topic.

Today is #TimeToTalkDay, a powerful initiative led by Mind Charity and Rethink Mental Illness, in collaboration with Co-op . This nationwide campaign is dedicated to fostering supportive communities through open conversations about mental health. As workplace stress, the cost of living crisis, and homelessness rise, it's more crucial than ever to prioritize mental health dialogues. We all have mental health, and by sharing our experiences, we can provide invaluable support to ourselves and others. In the midst of challenges like the cost of living crisis and other personal difficulties, let's look out for one another. A simple check-in, asking how someone is, and following up can make a significant impact. Today serves as a reminder of the human factor – the importance of genuine connections. If you haven't checked in with someone, DO IT NOW! Together, let's break the stigma surrounding mental health. It's #TimeToCheckIn, #TimeToTalk. Reach out, support one another, and create an environment of understanding and empathy. #MentalHealthMatters #SupportEachOther #EndTheStigma #TimeToChange"
