πŸ’¬ It can be difficult to know what to say when someone opens up about their mental health. You don't need to have all the answers. Asking open questions lets them share as much as they're comfortable with. #TimeToTalk @coopuk @MindCharity @Rethink_

For someone experiencing anxiety, 'small' problems don't always feel small. If a friend seems anxious on #TimeToTalk Day, really listen and try not to minimise their concerns.
One side of the image has words saying: "Instead of saying... 'It's not a big deal, there's no need to worry about it." The other side of the image reads: "Why not try... 'It sounds like you're anxious about it. Would talking through it help?"

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem each year. But many of us don’t know where to reach out for support. Or how to share what we’re going through. This Mental Health Awareness Week, let your friends and family know – if this speaks to you, #SpeakToMind #MHAW
