Some lovely feedback here from a recent participant on our MHFA course. Spaces still available in September.

Congratulations to our MD Elise who is now a qualified Mental Health First Aider on completion of the course with Mental Health First Aid England & Open Road Learning LTD 🎓 We are proud to have two mental health first aiders at Anthem creating a safe space and environment for anyone needing to talk 🖤

Totally agree.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
The strongest among us aren’t those who show strength you can see, but those who have won incredible inner battles you know nothing about. So be kind. You can’t always see people’s pain, but they can always feel your kindness. Being kind to people is a peaceful way to live, and a beautiful legacy to leave behind.

I missed the fact it was ‘bring your dog to work day’ last week. But as this happens most days I thought I’d share today’s pic. She’s officially on sick leave due to a poorly dewclaw but has declared herself well enough for light duties! Would love to see pics of your dogs at work.

Just because it's not Mental Health Awareness Week doesn't mean we sholdn't be thinking about Stress. Here's a great animation from the new Online Mental Health First Aid programme.

Stress is everywhere, and it is directly linked to our mental health. 1 in 6 adults in Britain will experience depression, anxiety or problems relating to stress at any one time. The Mental Health Foundation, organiser of Mental Health Awareness Week, says:
