Mind’s Blue Light Programme is closing this weekend. After today, we won’t be posting from this channel or moderating replies any more. Thank you to everyone who's supported @MindCharity's Blue Light Programme and been part of the fight for better mental health.💙

Working in the emergency services can be tough. The Mental Health at Work team have created a new toolkit for emergency responders, with links to places you can get information and support after Blue Light Together closes on Monday. 👉 bit.ly/3PUTrPW

🔦 93% of emergency services in the UK have signed the Mental Health At Work Commitment. By doing so, they’ve declared that mental health is, and will remain, a firm priority, and are working towards the Commitment standards. ➡️ bit.ly/3N4RwXB

@Call4Backup @MindCharity Hi @Call4Backup, we're not sure yet what processes will be in place for the new website as it won't be run by Mind. If you can email this question to bluelight@mind.org.uk we can pass it onto the new partnership and share more info ourselves when we know more. ^Emily
