This is what our Activists told MPs last night. At an event we held in Parliament, Venus and Regina shared their lived experience to explain why fixing the broken mental health system should be at the top of their priority list. We couldn’t be more proud of them.

"It's really good to let it out. And it's really brave to be vulnerable. And people respect it." Such a beautiful response to someone opening up about their mental health 💙 Big love to Danny Jones for talking his anxiety on @imacelebrity - we know it'll help so many people.

Carers do an amazing job supporting family and friends, but it can be difficult to prioritise their own needs. We encourage all carers, or anyone that knows a carer, to check they are getting the support they are entitled to at carers.org, #CarersRightsDay
This Carers Rights Day is about carers knowing their rights and how to access them💪🏾 But how much - or how little 😱 do carers really know their rights? We sat down with two carers to put their knowledge to the test! For more info: carers.org/CarersRightsDay #CarersRightsDay

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance today, which can be a difficult and upsetting time. We know social media in particular can be a tough place to be for trans and non-binary people & their loved ones, especially on days like today. We’re here to listen and stand alongside you (1/3)

It's so important to talk. Thanks for these powerful words @GeorgeRussell63. It's also important that when we do talk, the support we need is there. That's why Mind is fighting for better, for everyone with a mental health problem 💙 #InternationalMensDay

We all lack motivation sometimes, especially during these winter days. This can be especially true if you have anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition. What would you say to someone feeling unmotivated? Find our tips here: bit.ly/3QUwTPW
