Myth: You can’t ask someone if they’re suicidal. Fact: Evidence shows asking someone if they’re suicidal could protect them. It can give them permission to tell you how they feel and let them know they aren't a burden. Watch Dawn's full story: bit.ly/3EQssBR

Loneliness isn’t always about being alone, it’s about feeling disconnected. 💬 If you think someone might be lonely, check in on them. Often just knowing there is somebody there to listen can bring some relief. Read our tips 💚 bit.ly/3sbtajt

It all starts with small talk. A simple 'Hey, are you alright?' can be all it takes to interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts. Join us in creating a community of small talkers! Let's move from bystanding, to standing by and offering support. 💬 #SmallTalkSavesLives

It's all about these little moments, that are actually pretty big. After all, they help make our day to day just a little bit easier. Especially when times are tough. That’s why we love Brew Monday, it reminds us we’re not alone.

It’s about showing someone you have time for them and that they matter to you. It’s giving someone space to show up as they are, whether it’s a good or bad day. It’s about having a laugh together (over things like the silly amounts of milk your mate has in their brew).

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. 🧵
This Brew Monday, reach out and show some love to the ones who... Listen when you need it Always have a bit of time for you Make you belly laugh Feel like home, not matter how long it's been Sit with you through the highs and lows

4. But checking in with our friends, family and colleagues and having a proper chat can make a real difference. Which is why we’re asking everybody to join in with Brew Monday and reach out to someone for a cuppa and catch up!

3. We all have our good and bad days and they have absolutely nothing to do with a random made up day in January. Some days are really hard, and we don’t control when they show up, and that’s OK.

2. It oversimplifies the complex nature of mental health challenges and risks trivialising real emotions and feelings for sales. Life can be tough enough without extra mental health stereotypes like this.

1. This so called ‘most depressing day of the year’ was quite literally made up in 2005 to help travel companies sell holidays. Yep it’s just a marketing stunt. No science, truth or facts.
