@Debbie8t5 Thank you for sharing your feedback Debbie - we are on BlueSky if you are looking for another non-visual platform 🙌

@beatED That's a shame, as it's nice to use a social media platform that allows us to express through words but doesn't require a visual. I find Instagram to be the most toxic of all for things like distorted images and triggering content. I left insta a long time ago for that reason.

Why?

@Longhaired17 Hi Lorraine - thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, we've noticed our posts are not reaching our followers or the people who might need us on this platform. So, we have made sure there is signposting in our pinned post for those who may need us that come across our page 🫶

Your aim is to reach as many people as possible, X offers that. Users have the ability to curate their own experience and through the block function. A decision to leave the platform appears more like a political stance than a practical necessity for a charity focused on outreach

It's self-care Sunday ✨ Here are our tips on how to write a gratitude list, to help group yourself and cheer yourself up if you're feeling down. What would you put on your gratitude list?

Late last week was the announcement of a new cross-government Mental Health Strategy for England. A cross-government approach is desperately needed to tackle the inequalities in care across England, ensuring safe and quality treatment for anyone who needs it.
