Today is world suicide prevention day. We never know what’s going on in someone’s life but asking if they’re ok can make a big difference. If you’re worried they may be thinking about suicide, ask them directly. It can be the first step to getting them the help they need 💛💚🤍

With World Mental Health Day on Thursday this week, it’s important to remind ourselves of these key points and take time to reflect on our mental health #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters

Happy World Mental Health Day! We hope everyone in our school community feels they know who they can talk to at Irvine Royal if they are struggling, but here are some helpful numbers for other UK agencies who can offer support as well. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters

❤️As today marks Time To Talk Day, it is important to recognise the value of mentoring to help support our young people. Mentors give young people someone they can trust and talk to, helping them build their confidence, resilience and mental wellbeing #TimeToTalk #Mentoring

We delivered little goodie bags to the staff within our school today to encourage them to get together, have a cup of tea and a chat. We hope it brightened their day #TimeToTalk #MentalHealthMatters Mrs Marwick MrElliotBusEd Irvine Royal Academy

Saw this quote today and thought it very accurate. We all have mental health and sometimes it’s not so good, but it does not define you 💚
