It's #NationalTeaDay in the UK so we thought we would share a throwback to this wonderful Pearl Grey Tea Art by @littlemissmidas a few years ago for a commission depicting the links between art & mental health.⁠
The #PearlGreyTeabag is a celebration of the humble #TeaBreak !

As world events, news and distressing images are increasingly shared on social media platforms, it is more important than ever to care for your mental health while you are online.

It's Stress Awareness month, & 20 minutes in nature is shown to significantly reduce our levels of the stress hormone cortisol & the Blossom trail is a great way to connect with #Nature while in the city.⁠

It's that time of year again...⁠
Do you love stopping & taking notice of the details within the seasons?⁠

🍃🌸From the delicate buds signalling the arrival of Spring to trees adorned in cotton candy hues, & the confetti-like dance as petals gracefully flow in the breeze🌸🍃⁠

Great to see Anna Freud's 5- point plan for children and young people's mental health!

A lot of overlap with our manifesto asks of all political parties, particularly regarding early intervention and whole education approaches🟣

At the #Movement Project...we do a whole host of things, sometimes we learn moves & routines, & at other times we develop our creative skills by devising our own moves, dances & ideas: 42ndstreet.org.uk/event/movement⁠

Having the space to share one's voice & be heard is fundamental to mental health & wellbeing.
