    Headlines like this are unhelpful 🙅‍♂️ Ridiculing construction workers for talking about their feelings only serves to further stigmatise mental health and self-care in an industry where people are three times more likely to take their own lives. (1/4)
    Daily Mail headline which reads: UK Builders go WOKE: Study finds three quarters of tradesmen discuss their feelings with colleagues while two thirds shun the fried breakfasts and nearly half say they are history buffs

    The language we use about mental health matters. It’s important not to stigmatise people when they’re reaching out for help. It adds barriers for other people who might be hesitant to open up. 🧵 1/4

    🚨 Urgent: The Government has been ending vital local suicide prevention funding across England. This decision completely undermines their promise to deliver the suicide prevention strategy that we desperately need. 1/4

    Today the Government could have decided to save vital local suicide prevention funding, at just £1.40 per person it wasn’t too much to ask. But instead they’ve made the choice to sit back and watch as it comes to an end. This is unacceptable. 1/3
