Take the Time to Talk 💙 Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but even small conversations can make a big difference. Just being there for someone - whether it’s a friend, family member, or work colleague - can have a huge impact. A quick text, a phone call, a cuppa together, or even a note on a desk, there’s no right or wrong way to start a conversation. Simply asking, talking, and truly listening can help someone feel seen and heard. You don’t need to have all the answers, just showing you care is enough. And if you need someone to talk to, our free Health & Wellbeing app offers a 24/7 support line, plus helpful videos, podcasts, and articles. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/eihBtCXT Take a moment to talk today - it could change someone’s life 💙 #PerennialHelps #TimeToTalk #MentalHealthMatters #charity #horticulture #MentalHealth #CharityTuesday
