@mpftnhs @CombinedNHS @IPSGrow @samaritans #BrewMonday

Right, we all know Blue Monday isn’t real and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into a calendar. But as it’s trending again this year, we’ll use this moment to share some words that could hopefully bring comfort when tough days do happen. Retweet to help us get real info out.

It's Brew Monday! ☕✨ Today is about so much more than the actual brew itself. We’re not just obsessed with tea, we promise! It's all about the moments that happen around the brew, and the small but mighty power that asking ‘shall we have a cuppa and chat?’ can have. 🧵

James shared his patient story as part of the Trust Board that took place last week. You can listen to his story here: youtu.be/AhpmQvDoGS0 James was a patient of Combined Healthcare services for a number of years. He spent time at Harplands Hospital and was supported by the Bennett Centre and the Greenfields Centre, as well as receiving psychology sessions. He now volunteers for the trust in a number of ways and speaks highly of the support he has received.
