Good to see two of our second year students @HollsSexton and @Maisy_Kent raising awareness of mental health issues whilst on their role emerging placement today with @improvinglivess for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Today we’re hosting a parliamentary reception for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, where we'll be addressing the inequalities of access to movement. We’ll be highlighting how too many people are denied the chance to do things that are good for their mental health due to living with a long-term health condition or disability, financial strain, and inequality. We need to ensure that people living with these additional barriers are adequately supported, as well as address the root causes of poor mental health, if we are to achieve good mental health for all.

@AHPs4PH @OT_KatK thank you again for supplying these photos! Hope you’re having a great time on your role emerging placement!

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, let's not only promote mental health but also extend our support to those living with mental illness. 🌟 Whatever you're going through, there’s someone to speak to.💙

Movement isn't just good for the body—it reduces stress, boosts mood, and enhances overall well-being. Let's lead by example and prescribe self-care for ourselves and our patients. 💪🧠 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW24 #Movement

Social prescribing boosts mental health by connecting people to community activities & support. It's about holistic wellness and finding joy beyond traditional treatments.🌿✨ #MHAW24 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Learn more on the AHPs4PH podcast 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/6wUxLH…
