Jools Holland and a Mental Health toolkit

This bit of uplifting news was sent to me from one of our directors, Glenn Roberts. An interesting video that is VE day themed, Jools Holland shows us the piano that he learnt to play on, the history behind it and it’s journey throughout the war.

We also have a Mental Health Toolkit that The Happy Broadcast put up on their Instagram page. Some helpful but simple tips to keep us grounded, centred and calm throughout this strange time that we all find ourselves in. Click the arrows on the picture to scroll across the toolkit.

Please remember to reach out if you’re mental health is slipping, you are not alone and DPT, community groups and charities are still offering support.

I want to take a break from coronavirus-related news to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month (what I consider to be the most important month of the year!).⁣ ⁣ To create awareness and start a conversation, I worked on a Mental Health toolkit that will hopefully inspire and help you. It’s based on my personal experience and on the best available literature on the subject.⁣ ⁣ Please know that my DM’s are always open to anyone who would like to reach out. Nearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment. Why? Stigma against mental illness is still prevalent, largely due to media stereotypes and lack of education. Please learn more about mental health and show individuals respect and acceptance.
Whatever you do, remember the importance of raising awareness for mental illness and ending the stigma surrounding it. Together, we can all be part of the solution. #thehappybroadcast #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthMatters #toolkit #breakthestigma #suicideprevention
