Playing Sane is changing. Over the next few months we will be restructuring to tackle new challenges. Keep an eye out for news.

Our current government seems to have little understanding of #mentalhealth, mental health based disabilities, or their own benefits system.
Mental health matters.
We can do so much better.

Many of you will be dismayed at the way our Prime Minister talked about mental health and work today.
Here at Playing Sane we know we can do better.
Mental health challenges are real, tangible, measurable experiences. You are not cheating the system by claiming that.

After a lot of work Playing Sane has officially been registered as a full #charity. We've always been not-for-profit but we believe this change will allow us to do so much more.
Thank you to everyone who's been involved or supported us!

It is also concerning that @SpotlightUK have chosen to go down a helpline route when our discussions with industry consistently flag this a poor option for this workforce. 5/6

We hope @SpotlightUK will engage with the wider industry going forward, working with us in a way that reflects the position they hold in our sector and the responsibility that comes with it. 6/6

While this is playing out, people are anxious - desperate - about the security of their homes & jobs, their debts, rent & benefits.
This is not a political game. Economic stress is the most powerful driver of mental ill-health & suicide.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world.
For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.
#BeTheLight and prevent suicide.

If you’re worried about someone, asking them about suicidal feelings won’t make things worse, evidence shows it could protect them. Asking gives them permission to open up and work through their feelings. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
