Today marks the start of Just Talk Week!💚
For the next 7 days, will be sharing information on emotional well-being and mental health, along with advice on what to do if somebody tells you they are not okay.
It is very easy and far too common to ask someone how they are and their response to be "I'm fine." - even if they are not. We believe that "I'm fine" is one of the biggest lies told in this world and that's why Just Talk Week is so important.
The campaign "Look beneath the surface" encourages you to try and see past what people are trying to hide from you. If somebody tells you they're okay but you're not quite sure if you believe them, ask again. This is what Just Talk Week is all about, talking, starting a conversation, and allowing people to feel safe to open up.
However, we understand that sometimes it is nerve-wracking asking people these kinds of questions because of fears of saying the wrong thing or making things worse but have some great guides and other resources on how to approach these conversations.
You can have a look at their resources by following the link below:
