1.6million people are on the waiting list for mental health support (and 8million more can't even get on the waiting list because they're not 'sick enough'). But the Prime Minister didn't mention mental health in his speech at the Conservative Party Conference today. #CPC21 (1/3)

The £20 a week Universal Credit cut will push more than 2 million people into poverty. The UK Govt must #KeepTheLifeline and extend this £20 to older benefits to make sure people with mental health problems get the support they need. bit.ly/38eRCpT @CitizensAdvice

We applaud Meghan Markle for speaking out about her experiences of suicidal thoughts. We know that opening up in this way can be really difficult, but when high profile people talk about these experiences, it helps to break down the stigma around mental health issues. 1/3

Actor David Harewood knows what it’s like being sectioned. He recorded this message to support our ongoing campaign to reform the outdated and discriminatory Mental Health Act. Campaign with us. > bit.ly/2Lpf34u

In life, as in football, we all go through highs and lows and we can all take simple steps to look after our mental health. That's why we've partnered with #EveryMindMatters ahead of the @EmiratesFAcup third round to encourage us all to #TakeAMinute for mental health.

We love Emily’s story about how art helped her open up about her feelings and look after her mental health. Today she is taking part in a summer #Crafternoon – the craftiest way to raise money for mental health. express.co.uk/life-style/hea…

Great to see the Duke of Cambridge @KensingtonRoyal talking about @RoyalFoundation support for #mentalhealthatwork gateway run by @MindCharity at Davos today. Tens of thousands of people have already benefitted.
Replying to @UnitedGMH
But as the Duke of Cambridge said, only 2% of us are happy to talk to HR about our #mentalhealth, which is why the Royal Foundation have launched Mental Health at Work to improve workplace wellbeing: unitedgmh.org/index.php/2019… @heads_together @MindCharity @KensingtonRoyal 2/2

An important moment in mental health. This Review, if fully implemented by Govt, will go a long way towards treating people with dignity and respect when they are at their most vulnerable.

Today's alarming figures show the worrying and increasing challenges children face when it comes to #mentalhealth. They've been let down for too long, unable to get the support they need or when they need it. The Govt has failed to deliver on promises. bbc.in/2BqnCYM

Two of @tchappen’s creators are @MrJonnyBenjamin and @NeilLaybourn, who came to prominence on Channel 4’s ‘Strangers on The Bridge’, which told the story of friendly ‘stranger’ Neil, who spoke to Jonny on Waterloo Bridge and convinced him not to take his own life #ThisCanHappen18
