As #MindYourHead draws to a close we want to shine a spotlight on some of the unsung champions of rural wellbeing. They may not be household names, but they have worked quietly and tirelessly to shift attitudes and ultimately, save lives... Starting in England and there is no one more worthy of the title 'hero' than Melinda Raker MBE... 💛 bit.ly/4rxYqWt #MindYourHead #SuicidePrevention #Hope








💬 Time to Talk Day: A small conversation can make a big difference Today is a reminder that talking about mental health doesn’t need to be perfect or planned. So many people carry more than they let on. Stigma still says that we should “keep it to ourselves” or “just get on with it,” and that silence can feel heavy. But when we open up — even a little — something changes. We feel seen. We feel less alone. And that matters. Time to Talk Day is about creating those moments. A chat over a brew. A message that says, “How are you, really?” A space where someone feels safe enough to open up without judgement These conversations don’t fix everything, but they help break down the stigma a bit more. They remind us that reaching out is a strength, and listening is an act of care. Today a day where we show up for each other, as it should be ever day. Let’s make talking about mental health feel normal, human, and okay. Because it is. It’s always the right time to talk
