We got to spend the afternoon with @studentroostuk in sunny Liverpool for their mental health awareness week event! 🌞 Through the #BehindEveryDoor campaign we work together to signpost students to seek support on their own terms & timelines with the Hub of Hope!👏 We loved getting involved in the day, connecting with students, sharing about the Hub of Hope, taking part in the aromatherapy activities (and even a sound bath!) Thanks for having us @@studentroostuk 💙

A bench can be more powerful than it looks 🌏 We're proud to be the official charity partner with HelloBench, connecting communities with conversation, connection and access to support. 🤝 The first HelloBench outside Berkshire has now launched in Cirencester, offering a simple place to pause, reflect, talk, or scan the QR code for instant access to Hub of Hope! Because sometimes support starts with a conversation. And it often starts with knowing where to find help. With more HelloBenches planned for communities across the UK, this is just the beginning 💙 #HelloBench #HubOfHope #MentalHealthSupport #CommunityConnection #ChasingTheStigma

Last week Chris, our Director of business and operational development, went down to London to take part in the Head On campaign launch where the aim is to push for a modern & fairer mental health system! 🤝 "Being in that room, you could feel how much appetite there is for change. MPs, charities, innovators and people with lived experience were all pointing to the same truth: that the system isn't fit for purpose, and we can do better! 💙 What stayed with me most were the personal stories, the years people have waited for help, the difference the right support made, and the hope that comes from seeing practical solutions already emerging. It was a reminder that progress is possible when we listen, collaborate and act with urgency." At Chasing the Stigma, we’re proud to stand alongside this powerful coalition. Through the Hub of Hope and our wider work, we’ll keep championing evidence, lived experience and community‑led solutions as we tackle the mental health crisis HEAD ON. 👊 #HeadOnCampaign #UKMentalHealthSystem #ChasingTheStigma #HubOfHope

TBT to the acquisition of one of my largest #Whitstableincharcoal drawings which is on permanent display at the headquarters of @chasingstigma in Liverpool. (My favourite green wall on the wall too 🤩) Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise conversations about mental health, whilst ensuring that everyone in the UK can access clear pathways to support, whenever and wherever they need it. With lived experience at the core, this drawing couldn’t be in a better forever home. Chasing The Stigma is driven to create a society where there is no longer a stigma associated with mental health, where people are as comfortable talking about their mental health as their physical health, and where everyone is able to find appropriate support before they reach a point of crisis, leading to a significant long-term reduction in self-harm and suicide. 😌🙏🏼thank you to CEO Jake Mills for acquiring this artwork, huge gratitude. #mentalhealthcharity #privatecollection #acquisition #skinpicking
